Real Madrid try to put a disastrous international break behind them when they travel to Cadiz on Sunday for a La Liga fixture. Los Blancos will take on a lower table side, which sounds like it should be an easy win, at least on paper.ย Of course, games are not played on paper, and Carlo Ancelotti has the additional issue of being without the services of several key players.
Let’s take a look at who he still has at his disposal, and of course it starts with Jude Bellingham, a man who is in Ballon d’Or form right now.
