But that will not be the case, with Ancelotti confirming the Englishman’s availability in his pre-match press conference.

“Jude Bellingham has recovered. He’s available and will play,” the coach said.

Ancelotti also gave an update on Dani Carvajal’s fitness, with the defender having limped out of their win over Espanyol at the weekend.

“Carvajal needs more days and will return for the derby,” he revealed.

Real Madrid travel across the capital to face Atlético de Madrid this coming Sunday.
