Jobe Bellingham left soaked in blood after nasty collision with Andrej Ilic in Borussia Dortmund's 3-0 Bundesliga win over Union Berlin

The England U21 international was included from the off as BVB lined up against Union Berlin in Bundesliga competition. Bellingham got another chance to show passionate home supporters in Dortmund what he is all about.

The 19-year-old midfielder proved that he is prepared to put his body on the line for the good of the collective cause. He has never been one to back down from a challenge - much like Real Madrid superstar brother Jude.

That meant spilling blood in pursuit of victory during a clash with Union Berlin. There were less than 20 minutes on the clock when Jobe was involved in an unfortunate head-to-head collision with Serbian striker Ilic.

Both players hit the turf, with blood streaming down their faces. After receiving treatment during a three-minute break in play, it was determined that they were okay to continue. Jobe was left sporting a plaster above his right eyebrow.

Jobe also required a new shirt, having seriously stained the one that he started a meeting with Union Berlin in, but was able to play his part in a 3-0 victory that earned Dortmund a first Bundesliga win of the 2025-26 campaign and quietened some of the noise surrounding Bellingham and the reaction to his half-time hooking in a season opener against St Pauli.
