Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham have not recovered in time to face Real Sociedad this Saturday. The two of them missed Friday’s pre-match training session and will not be available for that game unless coach Ancelotti decided to rush any of them back and include them in the squad list for the game, which seems unlikely.

Therefore, Real Madrid will have a depleted midfield line for the away game against Real Sociedad, with Fede Valverde, Luka Modric and Arda Güler as the only available midfielders. Brahim could also play some minutes there if needed, but he will likely come off the bench later in the game.

Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos are also injured, so Ancelotti will be hoping to see Tchouameni and Bellingham back with the team next week. The schedule will become much tougher and busier from now on, so it will be crucial for Real Madrid to recover some of their depth.
