Is Jude Bellingham injured?
The good news for Madridistas is that Jude Bellingham is not suffering from an injury, but has been left out of the squad due to gastroenteritis. This means that his recovery is likely to be short-term and any worries over his fitness for the Champions League game against Bayern Munich should be calmed for the time being.
Why is Rodrygo not playing for Real Madrid?
The Brazilian missed out on training 24 hours before kick-off due to flu symptoms. On the morning of the game, it was decided by both Rodrygo himself and the medical staff that the best thing for him to do would be to stay and not travel with the squad.
