Jude Bellingham was not included in the starting lineup for Real Madrid’s LaLiga match against Getafe on Wednesday night by manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Bellingham has been included in the list of substitutes for the match.
In the decisive league match, Los Blancos find themselves seven points adrift of Barcelona, who are at the top of the league, although they have one game yet to play.
Ancelotti’s decision to leave Bellingham out could be with an eye on this weekend’s Copa del Rey final against Barça.
Bellingham has not quite hit the heights of his debut season at Madrid but has still scored 13 goals and provided as many assists for the Spanish giants in 2024–25.
If Madrid drop points against Getafe, their title defence could be all but over.
Although they have six games remaining, Ancelotti is under pressure and could leave the Bernabéu in the summer.
