Real Madrid midfielder confirms his availability ahead of El Clasico

Jude Bellingham was subbed off in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League fixture against SC Braga on October 24 (Tuesday) due to a groin injury. As stated in a report by journalist Arancha Rodriguez, the Englishman missed Los Blancos' training session on Thursday, which flamed concern among the Real Madrid supporters.

However, Bellingham has confirmed his availability for the upcoming El Clasico on Saturday. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder said (via Teledeporte):

"I’ll play in El Clasico."
