Real Madrid, with star midfielder Jude Bellingham back, will host Valencia on Saturday night to try to increase their advantage in La Liga.
Real Madrid have performed well without their English player, winning two matches 1-0 against RB Leipzig and Sevilla, and drawing 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano.
Vinicius Junior will return to Valencia’s stadium for the first time since experiencing racist abuse by home fans in May during Saturday’s trip to the Mestalla. Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Real Madrid, addressed questions about Bellingham’s preparedness.
The Italian expert said at the press conference before the La Liga game that the midfielder is ready for the next encounter against Valencia on Saturday, March 2nd.
“He is completely prepared, 100%.” Although his training with the squad was restricted, he has completed the required solo preparations. He is in excellent physical shape and feels extremely comfortable with his ankle. The coach said that he is in peak condition and will play tomorrow.
Bellingham has scored 20 goals and provided 8 assists in 29 outings for the Royal Club this season. The attacker is currently the top scorer in La Liga with 16 goals. Real Madrid is now at the top of the Spanish championship standings after 26 matches, holding a six-point advantage over Girona under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti.
