Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Englishman Jude Bellingham is “OK” to face rivals Barcelona on Sunday, following Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Braga in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night in Portugal.
Bellingham scored Madrid’s second goal of the night to help seal a win that keeps them perfect on nine points atop Group C through three games ahead of Saturday’s Clasico against Barcelona in La Liga.
“He is OK,” Ancelotti said when asked why Bellingham had been substituted. “His adductors are a bit charged because the pitch was a bit soft. But nothing special. He will recover. He is OK. He is a bit tired, like everybody else. But that’s normal.”
