8 February, 12:14

Jude Bellingham is set to play a key role in Real Madrid's upcoming derby against Atletico Madrid. The English midfielder, who missed the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Leganes, has returned to training and is available for selection. His presence will be crucial as Real Madrid look to strengthen their league position.

Bellingham presence on the pitch is essential, not only to support his teammates but also to overcome a personal challenge, he has struggled in past encounters against Atletico.

In Real Madrid's last five meetings with their city rivals, they have managed one win, two draws, and two losses. Bellingham has only contributed a single assist in these matches, failing to make a major impact against Diego Simeone’s disciplined defence.

Bellingham has performed better against Barcelona, playing a key role in three victories since joining Real Madrid in 2023. This derby is a chance for him to prove himself.
