Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti confirms Jude Bellingham's availability for the upcoming match against Real Valladolid is uncertain due to a knock sustained in training. The injury, while not serious, may lead to Bellingham being benched as a precaution. Ancelotti may adjust his formation for the game.
Real Madrid's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has confirmed that Jude Bellingham is dealing with a knock ahead of their first home game of the season against Real Valladolid. The 20-year-old England star was unable to complete the team's penultimate training session, raising concerns about his availability for the match. Ancelotti mentioned that the medical team is currently evaluating Bellingham's condition, leaving his participation uncertain.
Reports from The Athletic suggest that while the injury may not be serious, the club could opt to bench Bellingham as a precaution. This situation might prompt Ancelotti to adjust his formation, potentially moving away from the attacking setup that Bellingham was a key part of during their recent draw against RCD Mallorca. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates, with the possibility of seeing Bellingham sidelined for the highly anticipated match at the Santiago Bernabeu, which will also mark Kylian Mbappe’s home debut.
Reactions among supporters have been mixed, with some expressing concern over Bellingham’s absence, while others trust Ancelotti’s cautious approach.
