Carlo Ancelotti could decide to rest Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid’s UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta on August 14.
Los Blancos are back in Spain after their pre-season tour of the United States as they prepare for the opening weeks of the 2024/25 La Liga season. Bellingham did not take part in the trip to North America, as per a prior agreement with Ancelotti, due to his efforts with England at Euro 2024 and his gruelling first season in Madrid.
The club intend to ease him into the new campaign, with a mix of starts and substitutes until September, which could include a role on the bench in the final in Warsaw.
Bellingham laid to rest?
According to the latest information from Marca, Bellingham was included in the non-starting XI in the final training session before leaving for Poland, which could indicate Ancelotti’s plans.
The Italian has yet to decide on his starting XI, but players with more training and pre-season games under their belts present less risk, and retaining Bellingham is seen as a necessity.
