Jude Bellingham was reportedly involved in a training ground altercation with teammate Antonio Rüdiger after reacting angrily to a strong tackle, just days before Real Madrid’s Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Arsenal.
During training, Rüdiger’s heavy challenge sparked a confrontation that saw both players separated by teammates. Bellingham had been rested for Madrid’s recent La Liga match, as focus shifts to overturning a 3–0 deficit against Arsenal.
