Good news: Jude Bellingham and Joselu are ready to facing off against arch-enemies FC Barcelona

The first El Clasico of the 2023–24 season will pit Real Madrid against FC Barcelona, their bitter rivals, in less than four days.

Barça was plagued by a number of ιnjury concerns going into the match. Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong, and Sergi Roberto were all ruled out. Pedri was also doubtful.

Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and Dani Ceballos are all out with long-term ailments for Real Madrid, and Dani Ceballos will also be sidelined with a recent muscle ιnjury.

In addition, questions were raised over Jude Bellingham and Joselu, two recent additions, and their role in the Barcelona match last night.

No issues with Bellingham, Joselu Anxiety surfaced shortly before kickoff in Portugal when Real Madrid revealed that Joselu had been pulled from the SC Braga match team list due to illness.

Even though Los Blancos went on to defeat Braga 2-1, concerns were raised when Jude Bellingham, one of the goal scorers, was seen hobbling before being substituted.

Since then, it has been established that the 20-year-old is experiencing some groin pаin. He will be evaluated tomorrow.

However, according to a recent report from journalist Arancha Rodriguez, Bellingham and Joselu should be fit to play in the season’s first El Clasico against Barcelona.

Madrid supporters will be greatly relieved to learn that the summer arrivals should be well enough to go to Catalonia in time to take against the current La Liga winners.

This season’s top goalscorer for Real Madrid

With 11 and 5 goals scored so far this season, respectively, Bellingham and Joselu top Real Madrid’s goal scorers.

Therefore, it is essential that they are available for a game as important as the Clasico, and Carlo Ancelotti will be happy that the two, who have formed a strong combination, will be available to play Barcelona on Saturday at Montjuic.
