Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has sustained a calf injury in training just over two weeks before England begin their Nations League campaign.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 21-year-old was unable to finish a club session on Friday.<\/p>\n
BBC Sport has contacted Real to establish how long Bellingham is likely to be out for.<\/p>\n
Reports in Spain suggest he will be unavailable until late September, which would rule him out of Lee Carsley’s opening two fixtures as England interim manager. <\/p>\n
England face the Republic of Ireland on 7 September and Finland on 10 September in the Nations League. <\/p>\n
In a statement, Real said Bellingham had medical tests on Friday on the problem with his right calf and that his “progress will be monitored”.<\/p>\n
Carsley, 50, was announced as interim manager earlier this month following Gareth Southgate’s resignation after Euro 2024. <\/p>\n
Bellingham scored 23 goals in 42 appearances during his debut season at the Bernabeu last term as Madrid won a La Liga and Champions League double.<\/p>\n
The former Dortmund midfielder started in last weekend’s 1-1 La Liga draw at Mallorca, as well as the Super Cup victory against Atalanta earlier this month. <\/p>\n
Carsley is set to name his squad for the Nations League fixtures on 29 August.<\/p>\n
He will be assisted by former England left-back Ashley Cole during his interim spell in charge.<\/p>\n
Ex-England centre-back Joleon Lescott and the Football Association’s head of coaching Tim Dittmer also join Carsley’s backroom team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
