According to AS, though, Bellingham avoided a rather serious injury by just ‘one millimetre’ yesterday. Had he twisted his ankle a little more, the ligaments of the tibiofibular joint would have been impacted. This would have potentially ruled him out for two months.
It’s the same injury Vinicius Jr suffered in 2019 against Ajax that sidelined him for exactly two months. He had left the pitch in tears during the first-half, and said, “I spent six months with fear; when it was cold, it hurt without doing anything” about it.
Real Madrid’s next obstacle will be RB Leipzig in the Champions League round of 16 first leg this Tuesday. They will be without Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Thibaut Courtois for the game, but will be confident about continuing their momentum.

This is such a bullshit statement lmao.
Someone probably was like “this type of injury often causes x I’m glad it didn’t happen here” and they printed “1mm away!!;;;1111”
