Real Madrid lineup vs. Real Sociedad: Predicted Los Blancos XI including Jude Bellingham decision

Real Madrid will need to make a check on Jude Bellingham before deciding whether the midfielder can be involved in Wednesday's La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.

Bellingham was seen with ice on his ankle after being withdrawn in the latter stages of Saturday's 2-1 victory over Espanyol.

The expectation is that the England international will be available to start, as he has been named in the squad.

Real Madrid will once again be without the services of Eder Militao (muscle), Rodrygo (knee), Raul Asencio (thigh) and Ferland Mendy (hip) for the contest.

Endrick (muscle), Thiago Pitarch (knee) and Aurelien Tchouameni (muscle) are also still missing.

Marc Cucurella is likely to be introduced into the starting side, but Yan Diomande and Carlos Espi are again expected to be on the bench for the first whistle.

Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior will both be aiming to get off the mark for the new season on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, Denzel Dumfries is likely to again be given the nod over Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup:

Courtois; Dumfries, Konate, Huijsen, Cucurella; Bernardo, Valverde; Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe
