Jude Bellingham is fit again for Real Madrid but faces a challenge breaking back into Xabi Alonso’s starting XI after recovering from shoulder surgery.
– ADEVERTISEMENT –
The England international, 21, was Madrid’s star man two seasons ago, playing as a false nine and leading the club to silverware. But the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the rise of Arda Güler have complicated his role in Alonso’s system.
