Jude Bellingham is in doubt for Borussia Dortmund’s title decider against Mainz on Saturday as he is reportedly still battling a knee injury.

The 19-year-old missed Dortmund’s penultimate game of the season on Sunday as his side recorded a 3-0 win over Augsburg to top the table.

He posted on social media ahead of kick-off that he was ‘doing everything he can to be available again next week’, with Dortmund needing a win on the final day to secure their first Bundesliga title in 11 years.

However, he was unable to train with his teammates on Tuesday because his right knee is still bothering him, reports said Image.

Bellingham was only on the training ground for 10 minutes before leaving again, suggesting he would never come close to taking part in the session with the side.

Time is running out for Bellingham to prove his fitness, but he hasn’t ruled himself out yet.

The game could be Bellingham’s farewell to Dortmund as he approaches a summer move to Real Madrid.

The England international has reportedly already agreed all details of his contract with the Spanish giants, with a final fee expected to be negotiated later this month.

Bellingham would be a big miss for Dortmund if he can’t play this weekend, having already scored 14 goals in all competitions this season.

He scored three goals in his last two appearances as Edin Terzic’s side came close to winning the title.

After Bayern Munich’s shock 3-1 defeat at home to RB Leipzig last Saturday, Dortmund now have a two-point lead over their rivals and will try to keep their nerves in what promises to be a thrilling final day.
