The midfielder of the Spanish football giant Real Madrid - Jude Bellingham, has full confidence in head coach Xabi Alonso despite the bad series in which the team is.
Alonso's future in the position is put under serious question due to the unsatisfactory results of the “Royal Club“ since the beginning of November. The team has only two wins in the last eight matches in all competitions.
The last loss of the Madrid team came against Manchester City in the Champions League, when they lost 1:2 at home. This was also the second consecutive defeat at the “Santiago Bernabeu“ for Alonso's team after a 0-2 defeat by Celta in La Liga at the weekend.
“We have to accept it and move on, fight and improve our results. As a player I can see that we have everything we need in the dressing room, working with the coach every day to turn things around“, Bellingham said in an interview after the Champions League defeat, quoted by DPA.
“I have full confidence that this season is not over just because we have a few bad performances“, added the 22-year-old Englishman.
Real Madrid occupy seventh position in the main phase of the strongest European tournament with 12 points and are 6 behind the leaders Arsenal in the standings. The remaining two matches in the competition for the “Whites“ are hosting the French Monaco and visiting Lisbon to Benfica, led by former Real coach Jose Mourinho.
In the Spanish championship, the capital's team is second, 4 points behind the leader Barcelona, who has 40, and in the upcoming round they are visiting Alaves.
Meanwhile, El Chiringuito reported that defender Eder Militao may return from injury earlier than originally planned.
According to the information, the 27-year-old Brazilian has undergone several tests. They revealed that the rupture of the hamstring muscle in his left leg is less serious than initially thought.
The player's recovery time is expected to be two months or a little more, instead of the previously estimated four.
Militão was injured on December 7 in the first half of a home match against Celta Vigo in the 15th round of the Spanish championship (0:2).
Militão suffered several serious injuries during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, including a torn cruciate ligament. As a result, he missed more than 100 matches for his team.
In the 2025-26 season, the Brazilian defender scored one goal and made one assist in 16 matches.
