Carlo Ancelotti has finalized his 20-man squad for Real Madrid’s upcoming match against Real Sociedad on Friday night, a fixture that has been rescheduled 24 hours earlier to allow for extra rest ahead of their crucial Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.
One notable absence from the squad is Jude Bellingham, who has been dealing with gastroenteritis and missed training on Thursday.
Ancelotti has opted to give him the weekend off to recover fully and be ready for the clash against Bayern Munich.
Ferland Mendy is also sidelined, as confirmed by Ancelotti in his pre-match press conference.
However, there is positive news as Rodrygo Goes has recovered from flu and is available for selection after missing training on Thursday.
A victory at the Reale Arena would extend Real Madrid’s lead at the top of La Liga to 14 points, with Barcelona not playing until Monday.
Ancelotti will be looking for a strong performance from his team to edge closer to securing the league title.
