Real Madridvs.Athletic Bilbao

sportsmole.co.uk, 29 March 2024, 12:13
Jude Bellingham will be back in the Real Madrid XI for Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao.

The England international missed Real Madrid's two league games against Celta Vigo and Osasuna before the international break due to suspension, but he is set to return to the team this weekend.

Los Blancos will need to make a late check on Eduardo Camavinga, as the midfielder suffered an ankle injury while representing France during the international break.

Dani Ceballos is back in training after recovering from a calf problem, though, while there is a slight chance that Eder Militao could be in a matchday squad for just the second time this season, with the Brazil international on course to return from the ACL injury that he suffered in August.

At this stage, there are three definite absentees for Los Blancos, with Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba missing due to knee injuries, while Vinicius Junior is suspended due to the yellow card that he picked up in the clash with Osasuna before the international break.

Brahim Diaz is expected to play in a front two with Rodrygo on Sunday, allowing Bellingham to feature in the number 10 position where he has operated for much of the campaign.

Aurelien Tchouameni is likely to move back into central midfield for this match, meanwhile, with Nacho set to return to the middle of the defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Kroos; Bellingham; Brahim, Rodrygo
