Relief for Real Madrid as key midfielder back in training ahead of Celta Vigo clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid have had a difficult week given the number of injuries that they have had to deal with days after falling to FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.

Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger have all undergone surgeries in the past few days and will no longer play a part this season.

On top of that, reports emerged on Friday stating that key midfielder Jude Bellingham was dealing with a thigh strain which led to him not training with the group, casting doubts over his availability for Sunday’s clash vs Celta Vigo.

However, much to the relief of Real Madrid, Bellingham is back training with the rest of the group today, reports journalist Guillermo Rai.

The England international has been a permanent fixture in the team for Carlo Ancelotti this season and has not missed a single game due to physical problems since September.

The fatigue from the accumulated minutes seemed to have taken a toll on Bellingham as he sat out of group training on Friday after not being able to complete the session on Thursday.

This led to concerns even though the club had assured that Bellingham’s discomfort was a minor one and nothing serious.

As such, the former Borussia Dortmund star is back in training as per usual and everything suggests that he will be available to take on Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon.

Vinicius Jr., who picked up a knock in the Barcelona defeat, and Kylian Mbappe, who recently came back from an injury, are also understood to be fully fit and ready to go when Real Madrid lock horns with the Galician outfit.

Youngsters Lorenzo Aguado, Yusi, Jacobo Ramon, and Chema Andres are also expected to be called up, having been training with the senior team in recent days.
