Bellingham is likely to be out of action for a number of weeks and was left out of Madrid's travelling squad to face Leipzig.

In his absence, Brahim Diaz is expected to partner Brazilian pair Vinicius Junior and Rodryo in attack.

On his options without Bellingham, Ancelotti said: "We never think about those [players] who aren't here.

"It's more fair to think about those who are here. Without Bellingham, we've won four games out of four [this season]. Those who've replaced him have done well, whether it's Brahim [Diaz] or Joselu."

Despite Madrid confirming Bellingham's absence, Leipzig boss Marco Rose expressed his doubt over his former protegee's injury.

The German manager mentored Bellingham during his time in charge of Borussia Dortmund.

"I don't believe he'll be out until he's not in the stadium," Rose said.

"I know Jude, he will do everything to play the Champions League game. He might see other doctors today in order to be fit.

"I've read a lot but we'll see if he's here or not."
