Even more so with the arrival in great style of Kylian Mbappé this summer but also of the young Brazilian Endrick even if he has not yet played a single minute of play in 2 official matches.
However, Casa Blanca has to deal with a major setback at the start of the season. Indeed, this Friday, the five-time European champion announced on its social networks the injury of its midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The Madrid number 5 is suffering from an injury to the plantar muscle of his right leg and will miss about a month of competition. A real blow for the Merengues before facing Valladolid for the 2nd day of La Liga this Sunday.
Who to replace Bellingham in the 11?
Jude Bellingham will therefore be absent from the field for 1 month. With Eduardo Camavinga, it is the turn of the vice-champion of Europe with England to declare forfeit in the midfield. An injury that comes at the wrong time.
So who will replace the English number 10 in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting 11? Luka Modric is arguably one step ahead of players like Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz who can also play in the centre.
