Real Madrid Sends Jude Bellingham to London for Second Medical Opinion
Spanish club Real Madrid has revealed that midfielder Jude Bellingham is currently in London to obtain a second medical opinion regarding his left hamstring injury. This move was initiated by the Royal club following reports suggesting a delay in the player's recovery from his current injury, prompting the medical department to seek additional external assessments to ensure his timely return.
As part of this treatment trip, Real Madrid's head of medical services is accompanying Bellingham to conduct a precise evaluation of his condition and determine the reasons for the muscle's slow response to the treatment program. Sources within the club stated: "The English star has been in London for several days with the head of medical services as part of the usual external consultation system applied by Dr. Niko Mihic," which underscores the club's commitment to monitoring the smallest details related to its players' health and providing necessary medical care.
Based on information from sources at the Valdebebas training ground, Real Madrid typically proposes these second medical evaluations when they believe it will contribute to improving diagnosis and reducing recovery times. The same sources confirmed: "The club initiates these external reviews when it believes they can help improve diagnoses and timelines," emphasizing that this procedure is not exceptional but rather part of the established work protocol for cases requiring high technical precision to avoid any future complications.
This medical consultation falls within Real Madrid's approved system of external consultations, which has previously been applied to other players such as Kylian Mbappé. The club has also collaborated with international medical consultants like Dan Cooper and Chris Jones on previous occasions. Furthermore, the Spanish team regularly consults specialists for specific injuries, such as surgeon Manuel Leyes, who reviews all anterior cruciate ligament injuries, reflecting the club's strategy of utilizing specialized international expertise in sports medicine to ensure the well-being of its players.
