Real Madrid’s roster for the match against Real Sociedad on Friday in the Spanish League did not include the names of the duo Jude Bellingham and Ferland Mendy, which raised great concern about their possibility of participating against Bayern Munich next Tuesday.
Mendy suffers from a muscle injury as a result of his participation in Manchester City’s Champions League quarter-final second leg, which prevented him from participating in the El Clásico match against Barcelona last week.
As for Bellingham, he led Real Madrid to victory in El Clásico thanks to his last-minute goal, but surprisingly, he was unable to participate in the Royal Club’s training on Thursday, and his absence from Friday’s match was confirmed.
As Ancelotti confirmed in the press conference for the match scheduled to be held at Anoeta Stadium, it would be best for Mendy to stay away from the Sociedad match until he fully recovers and can participate against Bayern Munich.
As for Bellingham, he suffers from stomach pain, and this pain will not prevent him from being at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday.
Although Rodrigo also suffered a muscle injury, it seems that his response was better than Mendy, as he is naturally on the roster for the Sociedad match.
It is noteworthy that Real Madrid leads the La Liga standings, 11 points behind the closest competitor, Barcelona, and needs only 3 victories to officially clinch the title in its favor.
