Things are getting worse this season for Real Madrid, which was already suffering due to Jude Bellingham’s injury.
The Englishman is expected to be out for at least another few weeks, and with La Liga rivals Barcelona already four points ahead of them after just three games, the last thing Carlo Ancelotti needs is more injury worries to deal with.
Ceballos, Mendy and Tchouameni all left Bellingham for Real Madrid
According to CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, all Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy and Aurelien Tchouameni are injured, perhaps the only saving grace is that in the next few weeks there will be an international break.

In exactly two weeks, Los Blancos play Stuttgart in the first leg of their Champions League defence, and it remains to be seen how many first-team players Ancelotti will have at his disposal.
The club cannot afford to lose too many at this crucial stage of the campaign, because allowing Barca the “start” of the league would be a situation they cannot bounce back from.
For all those who will be absent, it is clear that Bellingham’s time off will be the one that will be felt the most due to the fact that his impact and presence in the team seems to disturb the opposing teams as he plays with the runners, Vini Jr. and Kylian. Mbappe.
Not to panic, Ancelotti will likely have a plan to steer his side through choppy waters and keep them competitive over the next few weeks.
As players begin to return one by one and Real Madrid regain form and strength, the Italian can begin to push the Blaugranes to the top of Spain’s top flight.
