In a tale of triumph over adversity, Jude Bellingham, the young sensation at Real Madrid, showcased his indomitable spirit by returning to the scoresheet against Cadiz despite grappling with a persistent shoulder injury, reported by GOAL. The midfielder's remarkable journey saw him sidelined for consecutive games and compelled to withdraw from the England squad due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in a clash with Rayo Vallecano.

Making a stellar comeback against Cadiz, Bellingham not only contributed to Real Madrid's 3-0 victory with a precisely executed goal in the 74th minute but also surpassed the goal-scoring record set by football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. With 14 goals in 15 games across various competitions since donning the white jersey, Bellingham's impact has been nothing short of extraordinary.

However, amidst the celebration of his on-field prowess, Real Madrid's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, cautioned that Bellingham's shoulder issue persists. While the 20-year-old midfielder is defying expectations with his goal-scoring prowess, Ancelotti acknowledged that Bellingham is not yet fully recovered. In Ancelotti's words, “Bellingham is fine. He still has the problem he had but he is fine with the protection.”
