Real Madrid will have to contend without Jude Bellingham for today’s La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.
The 20 year-old is Madrid’s top goalscorer this season, having found the back of the net 20 times for the Spanish giants so far this term.
But the former Birmingham City academy graduate will be forced to watch from the sidelines at the Bernabeu today, as Los Blancos continue their pursuit of yet another La Liga title.
Why is Jude Bellingham not playing for Real Madrid today?
Bellingham will be absent from Real Madrid’s game vs Celta Vigo having been sent off in the previous La Liga match.
With their game away to Valencia tied at 2-2, Real Madrid thought they had completed their comeback from 2-0 down when Bellingham headed home in the sixth minute of added time.
However, the referee had blown for full-time just as Brahim Diaz was delivering his cross into the box.
An understandably furious Bellingham then confronted referee Gil Manzano along with his equally stunned teammates, but the England international was shown a red card for his protestations.
