BARCELONA (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that England midfielder Jude Bellingham is ready to face Barcelona in Saturday's Clasico after he was forced out of their Champions League win at Braga with a thigh pull.

The 20-year-old Bellingham has made his transition to Spanish soccer look ridiculously easy with 11 goals and threes assists in 12 games in all competitions since joining from Borussia Dortmund.
