Real Madrid knows that if they have to keep the hope to win La Liga, they probably have to beat Celta Vigo on Sunday, giving Barcelona a result against Real Valladolid. That would leave them in at least four points from the Catalan side, but Carlo Ancelotti will be without a number of players due to injury.
Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior both came back on Friday after missing the training earlier in the week because of muscle development, but relevant says that Jude Bellingham has now missed their last training session. The English international trained only with muscle development, although not considered serious. On Thursday, Bellingham felt the discomfort and it was classified as just a fear, but his lack of participation in training is certainly a concern. He is still expected to be fit for Celta when things stand.
With Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao in the hope of being back for the club World Cup, Real Madrid had surgery an unprecedented start of the week with three more defenders in the room of 24 hours. Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger were all excluded for the rest of the season, although Rudiger could be back in the club World Cup in mid -June.
There is one piece of positive news, and that is the green light of the medical team with Joan Martinez. The 17-year-old talent, who spent the first team last year before a cruciate ligament problem, is again fit, although it is 'difficult' for him to play for next season. Martinez will return to the Onder-19s for the time being, and the goal is to let him fit completely for next year. That information came from Marca, who also notices that left back Yusi and Center-back Jacobo Ramon from the Castilla side are supported to be with the first team this Sunday.
Given the injuries, Fran Garcia and Raul Asencio see for sure on left-back and center-back. The experienced Lucas Vazquez probably seems to continue on the right, so that there is an extra place in addition to Asencio. More likely than not, Aurelien Tchouameni Aurelien Tchouameni will be withdrawn from midfield. Otherwise Ancelotti will be forced to use one of Jesus Vallejo (who has hardly played) or Ramon.
