Jude Bellingham<\/a> will not be playing for Real Madrid<\/a> against Atletico Madrid<\/a> in the Champions League<\/a> as he is serving a suspension.<\/p>\n

The huge Madrid derby comes at the last 16 of this season’s Champions League after Real knocked Manchester City<\/a> out in the knockout play-off round.<\/p>\n

Atletico had a much better group stage than their local rivals, finishing fifth, which meant they progressed straight into the last 16.<\/p>\n

The first leg between the Spanish giants is at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night, before Atletico host Real on 12 March.<\/p>\n

Bellingham will not be playing the first match, though, because he has picked up enough yellow cards to earn himself a ban.<\/p>\n

Three bookings is enough to earn a player a ban in the Champions League and Bellingham picked up his third in the second leg against Manchester City for a foul on Phil Foden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is just a one-match ban for picking up three bookings over the competition so far, with the 21-year-old able to return for the second leg.<\/p>\n

Yellow cards are cleared after the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so any player on two bookings as they head into the last eight will get a clean slate.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid have a number of players who could still receive a ban before that point as they are currently on two yellow cards.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric<\/a>, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni, and Endrick have all picked up two bookings so far and another on Tuesday would see them miss the away leg.<\/p>\n

Speaking of his plan for the home tie without Bellingham, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said: ‘I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to change the way we play. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to change much. <\/p>\n

‘We have to keep in mind that the players who have rested could have the opportunity tomorrow: Asencio, Camavinga\u2026 We have to look at these kinds of things and nothing more. <\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re not going to reinforce the midfield or take off a striker. We have to keep the same idea.’<\/p>\n

Bellingham has also been banned in La Liga after he was shown a red card against Osasuna last month for foul language.<\/p>\n

The midfielder was hit with a two-match ban, but said: ‘He believed that I said [something insulting] to him.<\/p>\n

‘There was no intent to insult him, there was no insult, and for that reason I think you can see there was a misunderstanding.’<\/p>\n

Having missed the 2-0 La Liga win over Girona and 2-1 defeat to Real Betis, Bellingham posted on an Instagram story from a gym: ‘Weekends without a game. Lesson learnt!’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
