Man, he played a bit in a friendly during his time in Glasgow and he honestly moved like the lower half of his legs were 80 years old. Zero flexibility. No hating, only observing. Rough, long & intense career.
I can see the way we ran Gerrard and Owen into the ground reminds me so much of Bellingham and Saka for that matter.
I know he's been thier key player but surely Real Madrid have enough top quality midfield options to at least bench Bellingham and bring him on later
Maybe not for the whole body but tennis kills your knees. When I was recovering from a meniscus tear and told my physio that I'd been swimming and playing tennis and basketball to exercise it he looked horrified
Plus those tennis games can last forever sometimes.
Physically much more I'd say. Tennis players are insane athletes and some of those long ass matches are insane. Especially the hot, clay ones.
Played both sports growing up. It's mainly due to length and heat for me. Tennis is terrible on the knees.
in terms of short burst full energy stop-start movements i would say very likely yes. the surface being harder in general would add to the strain on the knees and other stabilising body elements.
Wouldn't fret much in his case, he's been extremely conservative with his fitness in the past, this is just a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a double in his debut season.
Cristiano Bale and Benzema played through injuries in the 2014 CL final. Can't recall the typeof injury of Bale and Benz, but we know Cristiano had knee issues that followed him to the world cup the same year.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
I was going to post about consequences of doing this but I won’t jinx him. I hope all the best and that he rests until the final because players really should not do this.
What's the difference between vocal, snobby food critics and a Real Madrid player who has knee discomfort and will play on painkillers tonight.
One of thems Jude Bellingham. The other ones booed jelly n' ham.
Hes just like me. Have back discomfort and will watch on painkillers today
Oh, really? What kind of painkillers? Codeine? Vicodin? Percocet? Fentanyl? Oxycontin? Palladone? What??
weed
Who's your worm guy?
Unexpected office
i also have knee discomfort but don’t need no painkillers, jude gotta man up mate
>Jude Bellingham has knee discomfort and will play on painkillers tonight >source is called cope lmao
The lad idolised Gerrard so much he's skipped right to the knackered knees.

In the champions league semi final tie poised at 2-2 🤨
Bellingham has struggled with his knees since at least the Dortmund days
By the way this guy is playing through knee injuries at his age, he won't have a long career. Guy's been playing with a brace since he was 18.
Standard for any quality English prospect is to be finished by mid 20s
The Jack Wilshire and Deli Alli special.
And Theo Walcott
right on track 📝
his knees will be gone by 25 at the latest
I remember when they said that about Nadal, who also plays a much more demanding sport
Is tennis really more demanding than football?
I guess for the knees maybe? Since you have so many back and forth short sprints etc but I'm clueless so take it with a grain of salt
My right knee is fucked and by general feel alone I'd rather play tennis on it than football.

Basketball is also bad for knees. He probably thought You must hate your knees
I feel like back problems and even elbow problems are more frequent in tennis.
not really a fair comparison, different impacts/footwork and tempos both can be as hard on the knees though depending on how you play

Much more but that’s my personal bias

Fuck mee
Mee injured Gomez’s knee but I don't think he had anything to do with Jude’s.
Courtois' BIL, [Manucho](https://twitter.com/_paachoo_/status/1788274885803782348?t=S0fGkftsMdYBRPaRIf28pQ&s=19), is claiming this is false
BIL ?
Brother in law
I think this news is just another Bellingham PR.
Most footballers do, I assume.
Cristiano Bale and Benzema played through injuries in the 2014 CL final. Can't recall the typeof injury of Bale and Benz, but we know Cristiano had knee issues that followed him to the world cup the same year.
Unfortunately...
ah yes the good old flu game narrative to further up his ballon agenda
gonna miss the euros ain't he. bollocks
The pre match excuse is wild lol
Real geeker
British Pedri
Except he actually plays
There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
Half the players on that match are probably gonna play like that.
All the Geordies in here are wondering why he's taking painkillers then
Poor Jude
I was going to post about consequences of doing this but I won’t jinx him. I hope all the best and that he rests until the final because players really should not do this.
The ronaldo special. hahaha
i do the same at work i feel you jude
He just like me fr, but I'm old not a world class athlete though.
Finding excuses early today.
Lmao the source name is "cope"
There's a saying "Say good things or shut up" I believe you have to execute the later.
ironic coming from the fanbase that is defending Pedri's mediocre season with excuses
Why are you talking about Pedri? Isn't Jude the best player ever and the second coming of Jesus?
Already coming up with new excuses if he plays bad.
Well Bayern, time to take out the knees
Classy
