Amid doubts about his involvement in tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League clash between Real Madrid and SC Braga, midfield superstar Jude Bellingham is training with the rest of the team, reports Mario Cortegana of The Athletic.
Bellingham picked up a shoulder problem during the Merengues’ last game against Rayo Vallecano after enduring a strong fall to the ground early in the match.
On Monday, reports emerged claiming that the 20-year-old Real Madrid talisman had suffered a dislocated shoulder and would be a doubt for tomorrow’s game against Braga.
It was further suggested that Bellingham would miss the game against the Portuguese club but return as a starter for the Valencia clash in La Liga later this week.
But, in what could be a big boost for Carlo Ancelotti & co., Bellingham is training with the rest of the team as per normal today.
It bodes well for Real Madrid, considering that the summer signing has been their best player this season and by some distance.
Bellingham also happens to be the chief source of goals for the Merengues and his availability for the game against Braga will be a confidence booster as the team looks to secure qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
As things stand, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao remain sidelined through injuries for Real Madrid.
What now remains to be seen is whether Ancelotti decides to have Bellingham in the thick of things against Braga tomorrow or opts not to take any risk with the key midfielder
