But manager Carlo Ancelotti says the young player from Birmingham is healthy enough to play at the Bernabeu.

“He’s all set to play.” “He’s fine,” Ancelotti said at the press meeting before the game.

The man is a little tired and his ankle hurt a little. We would rather not talk to him.”

It’s crazy that Bellingham has scored 15 goals in just 16 games for the LaLiga winners.

“He is an amazing player, great.” We are happy with him. Because of the work he can do, he is highly valued, Ancelotti said.

After hurting his leg, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is also ready to play, but Ancelotti said that Ukrainian player Andriy Lunin will keep his spot for now.

The Italian said, “He’s free, and I’ll talk to him afterward.” “He trained for the first time today and was given the all-clear.”

“Monday, we’ll play Lunin. He’ll have a week to get ready for the Real Betis game.”

Real Madrid is ahead of Girona in the table by goal difference. They are also four points ahead of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Ancelotti said, “The goal is to keep our good run going and to keep showing quality and collective commitment, which is very important right now.”

“This is how we got to this point with our good run and results.”

“It’s a very tight schedule, especially now that the Champions League group stage is set and the league table is beginning to take shape.”

“We have to keep going, and this has been a chance for the players who haven’t had as much playing time to show how good they are and how much they help the team.”
