England's Jude Bellingham returned to Real Madrid training on the eve of the league visit to Atlético de Madrid, recovered from the stomach ailments that prevented him from training on Friday and ready to play his first derby as Carlo Ancelotti's team leader.

The scorer of six goals in Real Madrid's first six games of the season, Bellingham lands his first Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid as the main threat for Diego Simeone's side.

The Englishman has been medically cleared and, after a day's rest, returned to training without any after-effects of the injury that prevented him from training on Friday. 

Bellingham is not suffering from any virus that would put his presence at the Metropolitano in doubt and he trained at the same pace as his team-mates.

In the minutes of open-door training, with the media present, Bellingham was one of the group and was seen joking in the rondos with Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga and Antonio Rüdiger.

Also present at the training session was Vinicius, who is facing the final phase of his recovery process. The Brazilian has had another day with his teammates and his comeback is getting closer and closer, although it is expected that he will not be in the squad for the derby.
