Jobe Bellingham misses the match against Jude and Real Madrid in the Club World Cup

The Bellingham Brothers Miss the Duel at the Club World Cup

The Bellingham brothers, Jude and Jobe, will not be able to face each other in the Club World Cup. Jobe, a Borussia Dortmund player, was sanctioned with a yellow card in the match against Monterrey. Jude’s Real Madrid will face Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the tournament on Saturday at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. However, Jobe will miss the match due to suspension. Jobe, following in his brother’s footsteps, joined Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland.

I think we all saw that he was very disappointed. I think he didn’t know exactly that the second yellow card is a suspension at halftime. He was a bit surprised.

Despite this setback, coach Kovac is confident that the brothers will have more opportunities to face each other.

Okay, he’s young. His brother is also young, so I’m convinced they will face each other, maybe next season in the Champions League, and then in the future. The future is for them.
Niko Kovac, Dortmund coach

Jobe was substituted in the 55th minute to avoid a possible red card, according to Kovac.

I substituted him not for his performance. I changed him because he had a yellow card in this match, and they saw that we had some very intense duels, and I didn’t want someone to be cautioned twice.
Niko Kovac, Dortmund coach

Jude played three seasons at Dortmund, after signing from Birmingham City in 2020, before moving to Madrid in 2023. Both Dortmund and Madrid are undefeated in the Club World Cup, with one draw and three victories each.
