Real Madrid will be without Jude Bellingham for the next few games due to suspension.
Real Madrid will have to adapt to life without Jude Bellingham in the starting side after he will serve two suspensions: one in LaLiga and one in the Champions League.
The Englishman was controversially sent off against CA Osasuna in their recent game in the domestic championship after he swore at referee José Luis Munuera Montero.
Debate has raged as to whether the midfielder said ‘f*ck off’ or `f*ck you`, causing quite a lot of television time to be hilariously taken up on which is worse.
Why is Jude Bellingham not playing against Girona?
His straight red card was followed up with a 2 game ban, meaning he will have to watch from the stands as Madrid take on Girona at home and Real Betis in LaLiga.
“We have to accept this decision. The club will appeal to try to cut the two-match suspension”, Ancelotti explained in simple terms ahead of the game against the Catalans, “tomorrow another player will play.”
As well as the league, Bellingham will also be out of the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Atlético Madrid after he picked up a third yellow card, entering the referee’s book in the 38th minute of their thrilling demolition of Manchester City. That game will be played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on March 4.
As a result, he will only be able to play in one of Real Madrid’s next four games: their Copa del Rey tie against Real Sociedad. That match will be played on Wednesday February 26 at the Reale Arena in San Sebastián.
