Jude Bellingham's Dad Mark Sent Real Madrid Warning After Dispute

Reports from Germany have claimed that Mark Bellingham had questioned Borussia Dortmund chiefs over his son Jobe's playing time.

The father of Jude and Jobe Bellingham has been sent a warning after he was 'banned' from Borussia Dortmund's dressing room.

Jobe has started just three matches in all competitions for Dortmund this season after completing a summer move from Sunderland.

Sky Germany claimed that, after the midfielder was substituted at half-time on his Bundesliga debut against St Pauli, his father Mark went into the tunnel area post-match and questioned Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl over the decision.

BILD reported that Bellingham Sr - who is an advisor to both Jobe and older brother Jude - 'made no secret of his opinion' about the decision made by manager Niko Kovac, and was said to have been 'emotional'.

Kehl subsequently told reporters: "The active area at our club remains reserved for players, coaches and officials, not families and advisors.

"This will not happen again. We have made this clear to all involved."

The Daily Mail's Oliver Holt claimed last month that Mark had a frosty exchange with a journalist at St George's Park earlier this year after being questioned about Jobe's move to Dortmund and his potential selection for the Club World Cup.

Now, former Liverpool, West Ham and Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison, who is currently a European football pundit, has warned the Bellingham family that they 'won't get the chance' to display similar behaviour at Jude's current club Real Madrid.

Hutchison told online-casinos.com: "I don't think it's been especially clever. Jude and Jobe's dad isn't making great headlines, and he shouldn't be having any influence on selection at Borussia Dortmund.

"He won't get the chance at Real Madrid, they won't let him anywhere near the tunnel. They'll send him on his way.

"It seems he tried to interfere for Jobe when he was taken off. If it was my dad, I'd be begging him to stay away, to not get in the way of my career.

"The headlines aren't great, and the stories say his dad doesn't speak too well to journalists.

"You wonder how healthy the relationship is. Having your say when there are contracts to be had is one thing, but not on-the-pitch matters. I think it's really poor behaviour."
