Jude Bellingham is offering a glimmer of optimism for Real Madrid as the team grapples with a persistent injury crisis. 

According to Marca, the English midfielder, who has been sidelined for the past two weeks, is making notable progress in his recovery and is expected to rejoin team training this week. 

If his recovery continues as planned, Bellingham could be available for Real Madrid's upcoming match against Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid is currently enjoying a short break and will resume training on Tuesday. However, injured players are not resting; they remain dedicated to their recovery. 

Bellingham, who suffered an injury to the flexor muscle in his right leg on August 23 during a pre-match training session, is among those pushing hard to return. His presence is highly anticipated as the team has been struggling with a series of injuries that have affected their performance.

The injury list at Real Madrid is extensive, with eight players currently dealing with physical issues. Long-term absentees include David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, and Eduardo Camavinga, while Eder Militao is set to undergo further tests upon his return to Madrid. Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Ferland Mendy are currently doubts for the trip to San Sebastián, but there is hope that they will be fit to travel.

Adding to the team's challenges, the club also recently learned of a new injury to Jacobo, a promising academy player who had been working with Raúl and the Castilla team during the international break.

Despite these setbacks, Bellingham's improving condition brings a much-needed boost to Real Madrid as they navigate this difficult period.
