Jude Bellingham, a midfielder who had shoulder surgery earlier this month, is expected to be back in the Real Madrid starting lineup for Sunday’s La Liga match against Cadiz. Bellingham has been exercising this week.

The England international is anticipated to return to the squad for this game, having missed his team’s last two games and being unable to play for his nation in their November fixtures.

Despite worries over a knee injury he sustained while playing for Brazil, Rodrygo is also expected to start because examinations have reportedly shown that it was simply a minor problem.

However, several key players, such as Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior, will undoubtedly miss Real Madrid’s games due to injuries sustained during the international break.

Vinicius’s thigh problem will keep him out until late January, and Camavinga’s knee ligament ailment will make it difficult for him to return until the end of the first month of 2024.

While Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are still sidelined with major knee injuries, Aurelien Tchouameni and Arda Guler are also still out with the same ailments. However, both players should be back in action before the season ends.

This weekend, Luka Modric is probably going to move into the midfield, while Joselu and Andriy Lunin should also start against Cadiz as a result of their unavailability.
