Bellingham, 22, and Camavinga, 22, have both been named in the 23-man squad for the game, marking the first time they’ve both been available this season.

The Frenchman has been out for the past five months, missing the end of last season and the entirety of Real’s Club World Cup campaign after suffering an abductor tear in April.

Bellingham, on the other hand, has made a speedy recovery from the should surgery he had over the summer having originally been expected to be out until mid-October.
