"Jude Bellingham? He has a problem in his neck. He will recover in a few days," said Ancelotti.

Real Madrid have now been victorious in their last three league matches, which has left them second in the La Liga table on 33 points, only one point behind leaders Barcelona with a game in hand.

Bellingham has now scored in each of his last three league outings, with the Englishman coming into form after finding it difficult to make his mark in the opening months of the 2024-25 campaign.

Barcelona's recent wobble has pulled Real Madrid back into the La Liga title race, and Los Blancos will be bidding to continue their strong run of form when they travel to Athletic on Wednesday night.

Which players are currently injured for Real Madrid?
