Arbeloa readjusts pieces after the cup KO: Mbappé and Bellingham ready against Levante

**Real Madrid** resumed work amid frustration over the cup elimination against Albacete, who are fighting in the Segunda division one point above relegation. The team will have two sessions before Saturday's match (14:00), a clash that the schedule marked as a formality and that comes as a test for the Bernabéu after two defeats that cost two titles and with the dressing room pointed out in Xabi Alonso's downfall.

Looking ahead to the match, Álvaro Arbeloa recovers key players. **Kylian Mbappé**, absent in Albacete and with only fifteen minutes in the Super Cup final, does not appear in today's training incident report despite recent discomfort in the **left knee**. **Jude Bellingham**, who was also absent in Albacete, is also ready to join the dynamics.

Work plan and physical condition

On Saturday at 14:00, **Real Madrid** will host **Levante** at the Bernabéu after those two defeats that have increased the demands from the stands. In this context, the **Merengues** scheduled a **recovery session** for players with more workload at the **Carlos Belmonte**, while Rodrygo and Rüdiger trained separately with the expectation that they will work with the group tomorrow and enter the **line-up** against the Valencian team.

Thinking about the next commitment, the starting eleven is taking shape with Mbappé and Bellingham available. On the opposing side, Levante arrives at a scenario that Madrid had marked as a guaranteed victory on their calendar, now transformed into a **verdict at the Bernabéu** for a team under scrutiny.

Those who continue with their recovery processes, without a return date, are Militao, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mendy.
