Real Madrid’s Bellingham and Tchouameni Available for Champions League Return
Real Madrid’s injury woes easing as Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni set to return for Champions League clash with Liverpool
Real Madrid have been handed a major boost ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Liverpool with the news that Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni are both available for selection.
Bellingham has been out since early February with a hamstring injury, while Tchouameni has been struggling with a calf problem.
However, both players have returned to training this week and are expected to be available for the game at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.
Bellingham and Tchouameni are major additions to the Real Madrid team
The return of Bellingham and Tchouameni is a major boost for Real Madrid, who are looking to overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg.
Bellingham has been in excellent form for Real Madrid this season, scoring nine goals and providing 10 assists in all competitions.
Tchouameni has also been impressive, providing a solid presence in midfield and helping Real Madrid to keep 13 clean sheets in all competitions.
Real Madrid will need to be at their best to overturn the deficit
Real Madrid will need to be at their best to overturn the deficit against Liverpool, but the return of Bellingham and Tchouameni gives them a major chance of doing so.
The two players are key members of the Real Madrid team and their return will provide a much-needed boost to the squad.
Real Madrid will also be hoping to have Karim Benzema available for the game. The French striker has been out injured since March but is expected to return to training next week.
If Benzema is fit, he will be a major threat to the Liverpool defence. The striker has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season and will be looking to add to that tally against Liverpool.
The Champions League is the most prestigious club competition in the world and Real Madrid will be desperate to win it for a record 15th time.
The return of Bellingham and Tchouameni gives Real Madrid a major chance of doing so.
