• Real Madrid visit RB Leipzig in Champions League on Tuesday
• Jude Bellingham sprained ankle in Saturday’s win over Girona

Jude Bellingham’s availability for Real Madrid’s Champions League tie with RB Leipzig appeared in doubt after he sustained an injury at the weekend, but the German club’s manager, Marco Rose, will believe it when he sees it.

Bellingham left the pitch in the 57th minute of Real’s 4-0 win over Girona on Saturday, when the midfielder scored twice, and the club said he had been diagnosed with a high-grade sprain of his left ankle.
