Official: Bellingham joins Real Madrid squad for Sociedad clash, forward ruled out | OneFootball

In a major update, Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Jude Bellingham has joined the squad for tonight’s La Liga clas against Real Sociedad. However, key forward Rodrygo has been ruled out.

Both Bellingham and Rodrygo were not in training on Thursday night, with the midfielder dealing with gastroenteritis and the forward ailing with flu.

When Carlo Ancelotti announced the squad list, Bellingham was not included but Rodrygo was named as part of the travelling party for the trip to San Sebastian.

However, there has been a switch of places between the pair now as Bellingham feels sufficiently recovered from his problem and is back in the squad.

On the other hand, Rodrygo has dropped out of the squad as he is still not recovered fully from the flu.

While Bellingham might be included in the squad list for the trip to face Real Sociedad, it is extremely unlikely that he will be playing any part.

Ancelotti is expected to make wholesale changes to his starting XI tonight, with fringe players like Arda Guler, Dani Ceballos, and Fran Garcia, among others, likely to get minutes.
