Real Madrid looked set to get it Jude Bellingham return ahead of schedule this weekend, with many expecting him to be out for at least another week with a muscle problem. However, Blancos are increasingly concerned about keeping him on the pitch.
Bellingham played with a shoulder brace last season after dislocating it last November, and second Chain SER just narrowly escaped surgery this summer. An ankle injury in March later ruled him out for several weeks, and during Euro 2024, he was tired. This season he only got a handful of games before going down injured.

Real Madrid they are always more concerned about their fitness, and they try to deal with the matter. They will talk to Bellingham to rest more often, and design a plan of action so that he can play less often, but be available for important games, and at 100% for them. They intend to remove him more often, and make it clear that he has not played all his games.
With Los Blancos often starting without a reference point in attack, and Bellingham's goals seeing them through the early stages of the season, Carlo Ancelotti could not afford to rest the Englishman last season until the wounded have it over. Now Real Madrid have much more firepower in attack with Kylian Mbappe and Endrick Felipe, but they do not want to fall behind Barcelona in the first phase of the League.
