Bellingham's injury also led to his withdrawal from the England squad during the international break, raising concerns about his availability for the Cadiz fixture. However, according to Carrusel Deportivo, Bellingham participated in a training session with Real Madrid on Thursday, indicating his inclusion in the squad for the upcoming match.
The report suggests that the midfielder received clearance to resume full-contact training earlier in the week and is expected to feature against Cadiz, barring any unforeseen issues in the lead-up to the game. Bellingham has been in exceptional form for Real Madrid in the 2023-24 season, contributing 13 goals and three assists in 14 appearances across all competitions.
His return is a significant boost for Real Madrid, who are currently dealing with several key players sidelined due to fitness concerns. Long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao continue to recover from serious knee injuries since August.
Arda Guler, a summer signing from Fenerbahce, has yet to make his debut due to multiple injury setbacks. Aurelien Tchouameni is recovering from a broken foot, while Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior sustained serious injuries during the international break.
Camavinga is expected to be out until mid-January with a knee ligament problem, while Vinicius faces a race to return before the end of the month due to a thigh issue. Kepa Arrizabalaga is nearing a return from a thigh problem, but the Cadiz clash is likely to come too soon for the on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper.
On a positive note, Dani Ceballos is expected to train ahead of the match and could be available for selection after dealing with a recent muscular issue.
Real Madrid, led by Carlo Ancelotti, secured a convincing 5-1 victory over Valencia in their last game before the international break. They currently occupy the second spot in the La Liga table, trailing leaders Girona by two points.
