Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti remains confident Jude Bellingham is getting stronger every day from his shoulder problem - but feels surgery cannot be ruled out if the issue flares up again.
Bellingham, 20, had been sidelined ahead of the international break, missing England's final Euro 2024 qualifiers as he managed a dislocated shoulder
After returning to club duties, the midfielder then picked up an ankle issue during the Champions League win over Napoli.
Bellingham has been doing some training sessions in the gym this week ahead of Saturday's LaLiga match at Real Betis.
Ancelotti moved to allay any fears over a serious setback, but accepts the club will have to monitor how Bellingham's shoulder responds to ongoing treatment alongside a hectic match schedule.
"Bellingham is working on his own because he still has to recover from the ankle injury he had against Napoli. He has recovered well," the Real Madrid coach said.
