Real Madrid travels to Cádiz with Jude Bellingham fit to play at Nuevo Mirandilla, while Rodrygo faces a late fitness question mark for the trip.
The season in La Liga rolls on for the Real Madrid club as the Whites head to the Atlantic coast for the fourteenth round. Bellingham is expected to be in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting XI after missing the previous encounter against Valencia, a setback that has kept him sidelined briefly but not out of action for long.

Bellingham returns; Rodrygo doubts persist
Real Madrid arrive with a few casualties already known, yet the squad welcomed the return of Jude Bellingham to the lineup. Arda Guler remains unavailable, and the team will also be without Camavinga, Courtois, Kepa, Militao, Tchouameni, and Vinicius Jr. due to injuries. The absence of Vinicius is a matter of concern for Ancelotti, as the left hamstring injury traces back to a recent setback in the domestic campaign, with a cautious return planned for February 2024.
In the forward line, Joselu is expected to step in for Vinicius if the Brazilian is unavailable. Bellingham is set to link with Rodrygo in the front three, provided the Brazilian is cleared for kickoff. There is an element of doubt surrounding Rodrygo after a knee issue flared up following Brazil’s clash with Argentina. He underwent tests on Thursday and is scheduled for a repeat assessment on Friday to determine the extent. As things stand, Rodrygo’s participation in Cádiz remains in jeopardy.
