Sources indicate Jude Bellingham is anticipated to return by April for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is optimistic that key player Jude Bellingham and defender Éder Militão will rejoin the first team by early April, according to sources cited by ESPN.
The two athletes have been recuperating from muscle injuries for several weeks, with their return date previously uncertain.
Nevertheless, they have been training on the pitch at Valdebebas, and a source informed ESPN that both players are expected to be available for selection at the start of April.
Militão sustained his injury on December 7 against Celta Vigo at the Bernabéu, and if he returns in April, his absence will have lasted nearly four months.
Bellingham was injured on February 1 during a match against Rayo Vallecano, with initial assessments suggesting he would be sidelined for a month due to a muscle issue.
However, this timeline has now been revised, with sources indicating to ESPN that he has approximately five weeks remaining before his return.
Álvaro Arbeloa will not have the services of either Bellingham or Militão for at least the next five matches, which include fixtures against Benfica, Getafe, Elche, Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu, and Celta de Vigo away, in addition to their international duties for England and Brazil during the March break.
Both players could potentially be back for the match against Mallorca on April 5.

Dean Huijsen is still uncertain for Real Madrid’s upcoming match against Benfica on Wednesday due to muscle discomfort, a source told ESPN.
In the coming hours, the physical condition of the Spanish defender will be reassessed to determine his availability for the second leg of the Champions League playoff round.
Sources indicate to ESPN that Rodrygo has completely recovered from his muscle injury.
It is noted that he was fit for the match against Osasuna, but the club opted not to take any chances.
He will miss the game against Benfica due to suspension and is expected to return for the match against Getafe.
