Bellingham has been vital since joining Real Madrid in the summer, scoring 10 goals in 11 league appearances (Real Madrid have scored a total of 23 times) and three goals in three games in Europe.
With Real Madrid topping their Champions League group with three wins from three matches to date and almost certain to reach the last-16, Carlo Ancelotti is likely to either leave Bellingham in the stands on Wednesday, or perhaps have him on the substitutes’ bench in case he is needed.
