Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has left Jude Bellingham out of his starting XI for a LaLiga fixture against Getafe on Wednesday night.
Bellingham has been named among the substitutes for the match.
Los Blancos go into the crucial league game seven points behind league leaders Barcelona, but with a game in hand.
Ancelotti may have decided to leave Bellingham out in consideration of the Copa del Rey final against Barça this weekend.
While Bellingham has not yet reached the level of performance from his debut season at Madrid, he has still managed to net 13 goals and offer 13 assists for the Spanish giants in 2024–25.
Should Madrid fail to secure points in their match against Getafe, it could spell the end of their title defence.
Despite the fact that there are six matches left to play, Ancelotti is feeling the heat and might depart from the Bernabéu in the summer.
