Real Madrid receive double fitness boost ahead of VfB Stuttgart clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid are gearing up for their next match against Stuttgart, and the availability of Jude Bellingham is making headlines once again. Indeed, according to a report from AS, the midfielder is expected to be called up for this crucial game.

However, the final decision on whether he will start or not lies entirely with Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti.

It must be noted that Bellingham has been out of action for nearly a month, having suffered an injury on 23rd August. For Madrid, these 25 days without their star midfielder have felt like an eternity.

It has been a challenging period, with fans eagerly awaiting his return. Thankfully, the wait seems to be coming to an end. Bellingham has now trained with the team without any issues, which increases his chances of being included in the squad for the Stuttgart clash.

Nevertheless, the decision to put him in the starting line-up is still uncertain and rests in Ancelotti’s hands.

Meanwhile, another key player, Aurelien Tchouameni, is also expected to be available for this match. According to journalist Miguel Angel Lopez, Tchouameni has recovered well and is likely to start the game as a centre-back.

Although his injury was more recent, just 14 days ago, the Frenchman has also trained normally, and his inclusion in the starting eleven will depend on Ancelotti’s final call.

There is added uncertainty surrounding Real Madrid’s defensive line as well, with Eder Militao’s absence due to injury casting further doubt.

Militao missed a training session ahead of the Champions League opener, and if he is not fit in time, Tchouameni could be tasked with filling the gap in the back line.

As the match against Stuttgart approaches, the next few hours will be crucial in determining the starting line-up, especially with doubts still surrounding key players like Bellingham and Tchouameni.
