Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will meet in the Club World Cup quarters Jobe Bellingham will miss the match after being booked against Monterrey Watch every Club World Cup match free on DAZN.
A much anticipated meeting between brothers Jude and Jobe Bellingham will have to wait, with the latter having been suspended for Real Madrid‘s Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund.
The prospect of a quarter-final meeting was a subplot heading into the last-16, with the Bellingham brothers both in action for their respective sides.
Jude helped Real Madrid to secure a 1-0 victory over Juventus at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
Hours later, Jobe was part of the Dortmund team that earned a 2-1 victory over Mexican side Monterrey.
The 19-year-old, however, was left to rue an unnecessary challenge in the first half of the match, which has led to him being suspended for the quarter-finals.
Bellingham was booked for a tackle on Monterrey’s Nelson Deossa on the wing, despite Dortmund leading 2-0 at the time through Serhou Guirassy’s early brace.
With Bellingham having been booked in the group stages against Ulsan HD, Dortmund’s summer signing will now serve a one match ban under Club World Cup rules.
Dortmund boss Niko Kovac revealed Bellingham was ‘very disappointed’ post match about missing a showdown against his brother.
Kovac added that Bellingham was surprised to be suspended after two yellow cards in four matches, with bookings only wiped after the last-16.
‘I think we all saw that he was very disappointed,’ Kovac said.
‘I think he did not exactly know that the second yellow card is a suspension at half-time. He was a little bit surprised.
‘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 the future. The future is for them.
‘The Club World Cup would be nice but now it isn’t. Someone else must play for him but it’s also OK.’
