Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed the return of midfielders Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni from injury as the team begins their defense of the Champions League title.
The 15-time champions will face German club Stuttgart on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
While Bellingham and Tchouameni have recovered, defender Eder Militao, who missed training on Monday, is also expected to be available for the match. However, Brahim Diaz will miss out due to injury.
Ancelotti expressed confidence in his team, emphasizing their eagerness to compete for the title again this season, stating, “The Champions League is special for Real Madrid, and we will try to compete until the end.”
Dani Carvajal also hailed Bellingham’s return, highlighting his significance both on and off the pitch, especially after the English midfielder played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s journey to the Wembley final last season.
