Jude Bellingham 'in training ground bust-up' and separated from Real Madrid team-mate

Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rudiger reportedly had to be separated after a clash in training just days before their Champions League second leg with Arsenal. Los Blancos are preparing for their biggest game of the season, and one that could decide the fate of Carlo Ancelotti's future, with tempers boiling over behind the scenes.

Madrid head into the game off the back of a 1-0 victory over Alaves, where Kylian Mbappe was sent off for a reckless tackle. But prior to the match, Bellingham and Rudiger clashed in training after a foul on the Englishman by Rudiger, which Bellingham did not take too kindly.

Spanish outlet El Chiringuito claim that a small-sided game had to be halted in order to separate Bellingham from the former Chelsea centre-back. They had to be pulled apart but both featured as Eduardo Camavinga got the only goal of the game away to Alaves.

He scored just four minutes before Mbappe's sending-off and Rudiger started the La Liga clash, while Bellingham was brought off the bench with Vinicius Jr in the 62nd minute.

The incident concerning both Bellingham and Rudiger is not being deemed as serious within the Madrid camp, however, and both are expected to start as they attempt to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Arsenal.
