With less than four days until the El Clasico, FC Barcelona is grappling with a string of injury concerns. Sergi Roberto, Jules Kounde, and Pedri have been ruled out of the game. And there are doubts surrounding the availability of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Frenkie de Jong. Real Madrid is also contending with some absentees. Including Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, who are in the sidelines due to long-term injuries. Additionally, Dani Ceballos will miss the match due to a new muscle ailment. Concerns are there about the involvement of new signings Jude Bellingham and Joselu in the upcoming Barcelona game.
Concerns arose when Real Madrid announced that Joselu was out from the squad list for the SC Braga clash due to illness just before kickoff in Portugal. While Real Madrid managed to secure a 2-1 victory over Braga, alarm bells rang when one of the goalscorers, Jude Bellingham, was seen limping before being substituted.
Real Madrid gives an update on Bellingham and Joselu
It has been confirmed that the 20-year-old Jude Bellingham is experiencing discomfort in his groin area and will be assessed. However, according to journalist Arancha Rodriguez, both Bellingham and Joselu should be ready. And thus be available to face Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico.
The summer arrivals, Bellingham and Joselu, are ready to travel to Catalonia to face the reigning La Liga champions. This will be a significant relief for Real Madrid and their fans.
Jude Bellingham and Joselu have been the leading goalscorers for Real Madrid this season, with 11 and five goals to their names, respectively.
The availability of Jude Bellingham and Joselu for a game as significant as the Clasico is crucial, and Carlo Ancelotti will be relieved that the pair, who have formed a good partnership and are among the leading goalscorers, will be ready to face Barcelona on Saturday at Montjuic.
