Bellingham completed a high-profile move to Dortmund from Sunderland last month and was immediately included in his new club's plans for the Club World Cup. After starting on the bench in the first game of the tournament, the 19-year-old has since started all three games, scoring once and delivering one assist. However, he picked up his second yellow card of the tournament in the 28th minute of BVB's last-16 clash against Monterrey on Wednesday, which means he will be denied a match-up against his elder brother Jude when they face Madrid in the quarter-final on Saturday.
WHAT SERHOU GUIRASSY SAID
After scoring both goals in Dortmund's 2-1 win on Wednesday, Guirassy appeared before the media and hoped for Jobe to continue his fine form against Madrid. "I hope Jobe will be the best player on the pitch," he said, before press spokesman Sven Westerschulze informed him of the midfielder's suspension. "Ah f*ck," Guirassy reacted as he laughed, before adding: "I didn't know that, but I hope we win this match. It's a shame he can't play against his brother. But maybe he'll get the chance to play against him in the Champions League next year."
AFPWHAT NEXT?
Madrid overcame a tough Juventus side in their round of 16 clash on Tuesday, winning 1-0 thanks to a towering header from academy marksman Gonzalo Garcia. Recent history suggests that Los Blancos will head into the quarter-final as the favourites over Borussia Dortmund. The two teams will lock horns on Saturday, July 5, at the MetLife Stadium in New York.
