Bellingham returns to Real Madrid training, Vinicius already hitting the pitch

Jude Bellingham trained normally with the rest of his teammates on Thursday and, after two days of specific work in the gym, completed the session without any problems, confirming that he will be available for Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti's visit to Real Betis on Saturday (16:15 CET).

This was good news for the Italian manager, who also saw Luka Modric back in training after a Wednesday in which he did a large part of it. Bellingham, who has suffered a dislocated left shoulder and right ankle discomfort in recent weeks, and the Crotatian midfielder, out for the last two games due to a niggling strain suffered against Cadiz, will, barring any last minute setbacks, be in the squad to face Betis.

Vinicius Junior (muscle tear) and Aurelien Tchoaumeni (fractured left toe) will not be included in the squad. Both players worked inside the facilities at Real Madrid's training complex and spent a few minutes on the pitch, on their own, following their respective recovery plans.

The rest of the injured players trained in the gym. Arda Guler, with a muscle tear; Dani Carvajal, with a soleus injury in his left leg; Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, long-term absentees with knee injuries; and Eduardo Camavinga, with a ruptured external lateral ligament in his right knee.
