Real Madrid 'to launch fresh appeal over Bellingham suspension'

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to lodge an appeal with the Sports Administrative Court (CSD) in the hope of having Jude Bellingham's two-match suspension in La Liga overturned.

The England international is set to miss Real Madrid's next two league games against Celta Vigo and Osasuna due to the red card that he was handed in the 2-2 draw with Valencia last weekend.

Bellingham was shown a straight red in the closing stages of the contest, having protested to referee Gil Manzano over what he believed should have been a winning goal for Los Blancos.

The ex-Birmingham City youngster headed a cross from Brahim Diaz into the back of the net at Mestalla, but the referee had clearly blown the full-time whistle before the ball went in.
