After their 2-0 victory over Getafe, Real Madrid resumed training in preparation for Wednesday’s clash against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés. The standout development in the session was the presence of Aurélien Tchouaméni, signaling his progress toward recovery.

Tchouaméni’s Return Inches Closer

The French midfielder has been sidelined since November 5, when he suffered a left foot sprain during a Champions League match against Milan. Tchouaméni has missed the last four games, during which Real Madrid recorded three wins and one loss.

While his availability for the match in Bilbao is still uncertain, his return to training marks a significant step toward rejoining the team on the pitch.

Bellingham Ready for Action

Adding to the positive updates, Jude Bellingham appears ready for Wednesday’s fixture. The English midfielder was substituted at halftime against Getafe due to a neck issue after a collision. However, both coach Carlo Ancelotti and Bellingham himself confirmed his readiness, with the player sharing on Instagram:
"The tests went well. Ready for Wednesday. Thanks for the messages."

Injury Updates

Other key players, including Vinícius Jr., Eduardo Camavinga, and David Alaba, continue their respective recovery processes. Meanwhile, players who started against Getafe completed regenerative work indoors, while the rest of the squad participated in rondos, ball circulation exercises, small-sided games, and shooting drills.

The upcoming match against Athletic Bilbao is pivotal for Real Madrid, as they aim to maintain pressure in the race for the top spots in LaLiga EA Sports. The potential return of Tchouaméni and the confirmed availability of Bellingham provide Carlo Ancelotti with vital options to sustain the team’s momentum in this critical phase of the season.
