Real Madrid has announced their team lineup for the upcoming La Liga match against Real Sociedad in the Basque country tomorrow night.

In a significant update, standout midfielder Jude Bellingham will not be joining the team for this match. Despite suggestions from coach Carlo Ancelotti that Bellingham might be included after missing today’s training due to gastroenteritis, he ultimately did not make the list.

Another key player missing from the lineup is Ferland Mendy, despite Ancelotti confirming his recovery. On the other hand, Rodrygo, despite missing training today because of the flu, has been named in the squad.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will also be absent from the game, though Ancelotti mentioned that he might be available for next week’s game against Cadiz.

With these absences, changes are expected in the starting XI on Friday, potentially including Arda Guler, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Dani Ceballos.
