Real Madrid have a quick turnaround ahead of their trip to the UEFA Champions League Atalanta on the 10th of December.
Los Blancos secured a vital 3-0 win in La Liga at the weekend in Girona but they have less than 72 hours to prepare for a showdown in Bergamo.
Carlo Ancelotti he needs a positive result as he returns to his native country, with the defending European champions currently 24th in the league stage standings.
Two consecutive defeats, and three overall, are a form of shock from Ancelotti's side and the clash against Atalanta is their last European game of 2024.
After the victory at the Estadi Montilivi, Ancelotti proposed a key fitness update on three players, with one certain to miss the trip to Italy.
“Jude Bellingham all right. He was just tired, that's why he left. It will be available,” he said.
“Ferland Mendy he is injured. He has a muscle injury but I think Rodrygo will return for Atalanta”.
The news on Bellingham is positive, with the English star scoring five goals in his last six games, and Rodrygo should at least make the bench.
Mendy's continued absence is a blow Francisco Garcia he gets to continue to his place at the left back.
