According to the Ass, Bellingham is expected to return after the October international match day, and although this is a valuable addition to Real Madrid, it also means that Alonso needs to adjust the current well-functioning roster.

Real Madrid has found a balance without Bellingham, with the team conceded only one goal at the beginning of the season, and Courtois' saves were 44% less than Ancelotti's last season.

Bellingham's return will have a significant impact on the team, especially for Guerre and Mastantono. Here are two possible starting lineups:

4-3-3 Formation

In this formation, Bellingham forms a midfield trio with Joan Ammeni and Valverde, which requires him to focus more on the defensive end and stay away from the opponent's goal. In this case, Mastantono is more likely to appear in the frontcourt trident, partnering with Mbappe and Vinicius. Of course, Guerre is also competent for this position. His left-footed shooting ability is more suitable for long shots outside the penalty area.

4-4-2 Formation

Double forward formation allows Guerre and Joan Améni to fight side by side, and the two are on the same level, similar to last year's Club World Cup. With only two forwards (Mbappe and Vinicius), Mastantono's chances of playing are reduced. Bellingham can get closer to the opponent's goal because the midfield has a solid defense line composed of Valverde, Joan Ammeni and Guerre.

Nevertheless, the team will continue to run-in with Bellingham's situation. He is expected to return by the end of October, when he will bring greater impetus to the team. He proved his worth last season, scoring 23 goals.

But unfortunately, an untimely dislocation of his shoulder forced him to undergo surgery. He has gone through a long recovery process since, hoping to catch up with the National Derby on October 26.
