Bellingham ranks FOURTH in list of footballers with most minutes play before 21
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is ranked fourth for minutes played by footballers before the age of 21.
The England international has had a season to remember following his £113million move to the Spanish capital last summer.
He has scored 20 goals and assisted 10 in 33 appearances across all competitions, spearheading Real's hopes of winning LaLiga and the Champions League.
Since making his debut as a 16-year-old for Championship side Birmingham City, Bellingham has racked up 15,007 minutes on the pitch.
But that is only the fourth highest on the list with two former Premier League players and a goalkeeper ahead of him in the ranking.
Former Manchester United and Everton striker Wayne Rooney, who also broke into first team football at 16, is third with 15,479 minutes before 21.
Cesc Fabregas takes second spot having played 16,691 minutes for Arsenal and the Spain national side.
PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is top with ease with 18,309 minutes played for AC Milan and Italy before turning 21.
Bellingham will have the chance to break into the top three as he turns 21 on June 29.
If he stays fit and Real Madrid make it to the final of the Champions League, he will have the chance to play another 1170 minutes.
Bellingham will be able to add to those minutes further when England take to the Euros this summer
