The Spanish powerhouse is gearing up to take on the formidable force of the Bundesliga in the initial leg of their semi-final encounter scheduled for next Tuesday. This anticipated clash will unfold at the Allianz Arena, where Carlo Ancelotti’s squad aims to secure an advantage to carry back to the Santiago Bernabeu.
In this pivotal match against Harry Kane and his teammates, English talent Bellingham is expected to have a significant role, having netted an impressive 21 goals this season at just 20 years old. However, his preparation for this challenge may have been disrupted as illness sidelined him from training ahead of Madrid’s journey to face Real Sociedad on Friday.
Providing updates on the team’s fitness, Ancelotti informed journalists that Bellingham was dealing with a stomach ailment, while Rodrygo was battling the flu. Despite these setbacks, both players are still slated to travel. Meanwhile, Mendy continues to be absent due to lingering leg discomfort that previously sidelined him from the Clasico triumph over Barcelona. Ancelotti emphasized Mendy’s exclusion from the traveling squad, preferring him to stay back and focus on Champions League preparations.
With an impressive 11-point lead in La Liga, Real Madrid finds themselves in a comfortable position where they can afford to rest Bellingham and Rodrygo for the Sociedad match. This commanding lead allows them the luxury of rotating players and prioritizing their pursuit of a 15th European Cup title.
