Discomforted in the adductors and forced to leave prematurely Tuesday evening against Braga in the Champions League (1-2), Jude Bellingham should play well in the Clasico with Real Madrid, on October 28.
Madrid supporters were worried. While their Real team won Tuesday evening on the Braga lawn, in a Champions League group match (1-2), their new star, Jude Bellingham, was replaced in the final minutes after complaining about the adductors. A priori more fear than harm, since the English international should indeed be present on Saturday against FC Barcelona (4:15 p.m.).
The meeting has been marked for a while, with a Clasico which will be played in Catalonia, on behalf of the eleventh day of La Liga, and which Real Madrid should therefore compete with its nugget landed only a few months ago. It is A.S. who indicated Wednesday that Bellingham should be operational, and that’s good for the Merengueas the presence of the player is important, even crucial for them.
Perfect fit
Author of a perfectly successful express adaptation, Jude Bellingham was able to quickly make Karim Benzema forget. Current top scorer in the Spanish championship (8 goals, tied with Antoine Griezmann), the former Borussia Dortmund is chasing the pawns, whatever the competition. Thus, he has already achieved three goals in as many outings in the Champions League this season.
All this brings his total goals to eleven, in twelve matches, all competitions combined. To which we must add three assists. So many reasons why Real Madrid are relieved to learn that Bellingham will be present at the kick-off of Saturday’s Clasico.
