The most recent break for international competition was not kind to the top clubs in Spain. Vinicius Jr. and Eduardo Camavinga have joined the extensive list of injured players for Real Madrid, adding to the club’s concerns at a time when Barcelona suffered a devastating injury to Gavi’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Already sidelined are players of the caliber of Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Aurelien Tchouameni; the manager’s ambitions have been dealt a significant setback by the most recent two additions to the treatment staff.
Two really close returns
Real Madrid are putting in a lot of effort to get two of its players back for the match against Cadiz that will take place on Sunday, according to an update that was provided by Relevo (h/t Madrid Xtra).
The participation of Jude Bellingham and Dani Ceballos at the weekend should not come as a surprise since the two players are the ones who are closest to making a comeback.
After all, today both players worked out in the weight room, with the physiotherapists, and on the field with the rest of their teammates. The medical staff is almost ready to give the all-clear signal.
Bellingham is excited to go back to work.
On almost every front, the 2023-24 season for Real Madrid has been dominated by Jude Bellingham’s play. The teenager has integrated himself into Carlo Ancelotti’s system like a hand in a glove and is contributing to Los Blancos’ success by scoring goals with ease.
The kid, however, sustained a shoulder dislocation during the match that Real Madrid played against Rayo Vallecano earlier this month. As a result of his injury, he was unable to take part in any of the team’s following matches.
Bellingham is ready to go back on the field and wants to join in the battle on Sunday no matter what it takes. The choice, which will ultimately be made, will be made by Ancelotti and his management team.
