AS newspaper confirmed that Jude Bellingham has chances to participate in the Real Madrid-Valencia match on Saturday after recovering from injury.
The English international has been absent from the Royal Club since the Girona match after suffering a sprained ankle that kept him out of action for two weeks.
Bellingham recovered from his injury early, but he has not participated fully in training yet, and he will have to undergo a test on Friday to determine his final position for the Valencia match.
Even if his readiness is confirmed, Bellingham is unlikely to participate primarily in the Valencia match, as Ancelotti tends to keep him on the bench and give him some minutes to regain match sensitivity.
Ancelotti’s main goal is for the 20-year-old to be ready to play against Leipzig on Wednesday in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Jude’s return is very important for Real Madrid because they can rely on him as a striker, especially since Joselu will not be able to play before next April due to injury.
This season, Bellingham scored 20 goals in 29 matches in all tournaments this season, and he is the top scorer in La Liga so far with 16 goals in his first season with the Royal Club shirt.
