Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits Jude Bellingham picked up a shoulder injury in their 0-0 draw at Rayo Vallecano.

Ancelotti, however, is confident the knock isn't serious.

He said, "If we evaluate only the result... the wake-up call. I can't just evaluate a game based on the result. I have to be sad when you win and the team doesn't play well. The team has shown its face and for me it's enough.

"He (Bellingham) has a shoulder problem. He was a little affected but he could play. Tomorrow they are going to do tests and I don't think it is anything serious. We lacked a little success, we are hurt by the result, but the game was good.

"We have a lot of resources. We have created with Valverde, Joselu, Rodrygo... we lacked a little success."

On Bellingham's clash with Pathe Cisse, he added: "I don't know what he had with Path Ciss. I think it was a fight on the field and in the end nothing happened. He is a fighter, a winner... and it bothers him that we haven't been able to win."
