Jude Bellingham prowls around like Batman villain Bane during training in high-tech oxygen mask
JUDE Bellingham prowls around like Batman villain Bane during training.
The England star, 21, was put through his paces yesterday by Real Madrid coaches who used a high-tech oxygen mask to track his fitness.
Kylian Mbappe and Luka Modric were also seen in the devices — similar to the one worn by Tom Hardy’s character in The Dark Knight Rises, at their Valdebebas base.
Jude wrote online: “Little by little, preparing for Sunday at home.”
Fitness coaches say the masks help them devise individual fitness plans.
It comes as Real Madrid winger Rodrygo sparked controversy after claiming he deserves as much hype as Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
The 23-year-old scored his team’s only goal as Los Blancos drew 1-1 with Mallorca on Sunday.
Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius – the superstar trio now dubbed BMV by some fans – failed to make much of an impact throughout the match, leading Rodrygo to comment on the fanfare surrounding them.
The Brazil international took to a WhatsApp chat to write: “Hi guys, yesterday the result was not what we wanted.
“In La Liga every point makes the difference in the end. I’m happy with the goal and with the growth of the team.
“Last week they talked about the trio of Bellingham, Mbappe and Vini, but they are going to have to add the R of Rodrygo to that acronym. We have a quartet of attackers and the rest of the team.
