In addition to Bellingham, three stars Real Madrid will lose againist Sevilla

Real Madrid are at a crucial stage of the season. Their future in La Liga and the Champions League could be decided in the next few games, so the demand and pressure are higher than ever. They took a big step in the round of 16 of the European tournament last week, when they beat RB Leipzig 1-0 in Germany thanks to Brahim Diaz's goal and now they will be able to face the decisive match with more calm.

In the Spanish league, things are also running smoothly. They are the sole leaders of the standings with 62 points, 6 more than Girona and 8 more than Barcelona, their closest competitors. But while that lead is considerable, it is not big enough for Los Merengues to relax and concentrate all their energies on the Champions League. A couple of bad results could allow Los Tozudos and Los Blaugranas to get closer and that would be dangerous.

That's why it will be key for them to get a win this Sunday against Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. But for that Carlo Ancelotti will have to solve some problems. During the last weeks several important players of the squad suffered injuries that will prevent them from playing, the most important of them being Jude Bellingham. The English midfielder is recovering from a sprained ankle and is not yet ready to return.

But he is not the only one. Another player with physical problems is Joselu, who has been training in the gym for three days away from his teammates. "After the tests carried out to our player Joselu by the Medical Services of Real Madrid, he has been diagnosed with a bone edema in his right ankle. Pending evolution" informed the club through a statement. That leaves the striker ruled out for Sunday's match and reports indicate that he will need at least three weeks of recovery.

In addition to the injured, Carlo Ancelotti will also have to deal with suspended players. Daniel Carvajal was sent off during the last minutes of last week's match vs Rayo Vallecano and will not be able to play, while Eduardo Camavinga was booked for the fifth time and will also have to serve a suspension. The good news is that Antonio Rudiger is getting better and could be part of the team vs Sevilla.
