Real Madrid fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the club is reportedly optimistic about Jude Bellingham's return to action after the international break.

The English midfielder, who has been sidelined with a calf injury, is said to be ahead of schedule in his recovery and could make an appearance in the upcoming match against Real Sociedad.

Bellingham has been absent from the Real Madrid lineup since the beginning of the season. After featuring in the first match week against Real Mallorca, he was forced to miss the second game against Valladolid due to the injury.

The 21-year-old, who was signed in 2023 in a high-profile move from Borussia Dortmund, has yet to fully showcase his talents this season, much to the frustration of both the club and its supporters.

Despite his injury, Bellingham made a significant impact in the UEFA Super Cup, helping Real Madrid secure the trophy. However, with the team struggling in La Liga—managing only two wins in their first four games—his absence has been keenly felt.

The good news is that Bellingham has reportedly resumed training and is expected to be in contention for the trip to Real Sociedad next weekend.

While he may not start the match, there is a strong possibility that he could feature as a substitute, according to sources close to the club.

Bellingham was a standout performer for Real Madrid in the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists in 42 appearances. His stellar form has made him a top contender for this year's Ballon d'Or.

In addition to Bellingham, Real Madrid could also welcome back Ferland Mendy and Aurelien Tchouameni, both of whom have been recovering from minor injuries. The duo withdrew from the France national team squad but are expected to be available for selection against Real Sociedad.

On a less positive note, Eduardo Camavinga is expected to remain sidelined until the end of September due to a knee injury sustained earlier in the season.
