"The process to come back has already started," Bellingham posted on Instagram with a photo from his hospital bed. Bellingham started all six of Madrid's games at the Club World Cup, playing 84, 60, 82, 90, 67 and 64 minutes. "I see [Bellingham] as a midfielder," Alonso said when he was introduced as Madrid coach -- rather than, presumably, the improvised free-scoring forward of Bellingham's first season in Spain. ESPN has reported that Madrid don't currently plan to sign a midfielder, unless a player departs first. "With who we have, we can dominate in midfield," Alonso has said.
