Real Madrid have a quick turnaround ahead of their UEFA Champions League trip to Atalanta on December 10.
Los Blancos claimed a vital 3-0 La Liga victory at the weekend in Girona, but have less than 72 hours to prepare for the showdown in Bergamo.
Carlo Ancelotti needs a positive result as he returns to his home country, where the defending European champions are currently 24th in the league stage standings.
Two consecutive defeats, and three in total, are a shock for Ancelotti’s team and the clash against Atalanta is their last European match of 2024.
Following the victory at the Estadi Montilivi, Ancelotti offered a key update on the fitness of three players, with one certain to miss the trip to Italy.
“Jude Bellingham is fine. He was just tired, that’s why he got off. “It will be available,” he said.
“Ferland Mendy is injured. “He has a muscle injury but I think Rodrygo will return to Atalanta.”
The news on Bellingham is positive, as the England star has scored five goals in his last six games and Rodrygo should at least be on the bench.
Mendy’s continued absence is a blow, as Fran García will continue in his place at left back.
