Real Madrid headed to training today, focusing on Bellingham’s physical condition. The Englishman, who was injured in the match against Braga, did not train with the group and worked inside the facilities alongside physiotherapists, to recover from the overload in the adductor muscle that pulls him and that makes him feel like cotton wool. A few days before El Cl\u00e1sico.<\/p>\n
At Real Madrid they are optimistic about Bellingham’s presence against Barcelona. In fact, the idea is that the white Pichichi (11 goals) will join the team tomorrow and that on Saturday he will be under Ancelotti without any problem. This was identified by the player himself in a preview interview with TVE. \u201cI will be in El Cl\u00e1sico,\u201d he announced, smiling and in Spanish to remove any doubts<\/p>\n
Bellingham, who played 15 matches and 1,530 minutes between Real Madrid and the national team, will benefit from the clean week that the Whites will enjoy, which will not compete again after El Cl\u00e1sico until November 5, at the Bernab\u00e9u against Rayo. Eight days in which Ancelotti, and more specifically Pintos, will seize the opportunity to bring back the players who are bearing the brunt of the load at this stage of the season.<\/p>\n
Aside from the reassuring news Ancelotti receives regarding Bellingham’s physical condition, the infirmary coach will receive little news before the classic match. The Italian will not recover any of those injured in the duel against Barcelona. Ceballos continues his recovery from the latest muscle injury he suffered, and Guler, who is working with the team today, continues his combination plan before entering his first call-up. Courtois and Militao are out for a long time. Returning to training is Joselu, who missed at the last minute last Tuesday against Braga due to influenza, and has already recovered.<\/p>\n
The only player Ancelotti had back was Nacho, once his two-match ban for the sending off he received against Girona expired. Reducing the initial penalty by three matches allows the defender to be present in El Cl\u00e1sico and put an end to the center back problem that Real Madrid suffered from in the last two days of the league. Ancelotti will play against Barcelona with his great defensive partners, Rudiger and Alaba, but he will have the advantage of having Nacho on the bench.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
