Why is Jobe Bellingham not playing for Borussia Dortmund against Real Madrid?
Jobe Bellingham will not be able to feature for Borussia Dortmund against his older brother's side, Real Madrid, due to suspension.
The new BVB midfielder picked up his second yellow card of the Club World Cup in the 2-1 win over Monterrey last time out.
His first caution came in a group stage clash with Uslan HD, and as he collected two bookings before they are wiped out after the quarter-finals, he must serve a one-match ban.
Speaking after the match, Dortmund manager Niko Kovac said: "I think we all saw that he [Jobe Bellingham] was very disappointed," said Dortmund manager Niko Kovac.
"I think he did not exactly know that the second yellow card is a suspension at half-time. He was a little bit surprised.
"OK, he's young. His brother is also young so I'm convinced they will face each other, maybe next season in the Champions League and then the future. The future is for them.
"The Club World Cup would be nice but now it isn't. Someone else must play for him but it's also OK."

Injury doubt Lauren James trains as England prepare for Euro 2025 final
Lauren James has trained with the England squad in Zurich the morning before the defending champions meet Spain in the Euro 2025 final. James was forced off at half-time of their extra-time semi-final comeback over Italy with what boss Sarina Wiegman described as an ankle issue. Asked for an update on the Chelsea forward's fitness on Friday, Wiegman said: 'She's still recovering. She's doing things on the pitch and we have two more days so we're going to give her time. 'I don't know yet [if she'll be ready], but that's what we're going to go for, 23 players available for the game on Sunday.' All 23 members of Wiegman's squad trained at Sportanlage Au on Saturday. England then travel to Basel to meet World Cup holders Spain – who beat them in that tournament's 2023 Sydney final – to decide the title. Kick-off for the St Jakob-Park final is 5pm in the UK.

Aaron Rodgers' bizarre toilet rule revealed by new Steelers teammate DK Metcalf
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has opened up on the bizarre toilet rule Aaron Rodgers is implementing at their training camp this summer. Rodgers, 41, is gearing up for his first season with the Steelers after signing a one-year, $13.65million deal in Pittsburgh on the back of his New York Jets release. Earlier this week the Super Bowl-winning quarterback practiced with his new team for the very first time as Mike Tomlin's men got their preparations for the 2025 campaign underway. Over the next month he will be living in a college-style dorm alongside his new teammates at Latrobe's Saint Vincent College, where players are sharing bathrooms with one another. And Metcalf says Rodgers is already laying down the law when it comes to the toilet they're sharing. 'The toilet is super loud. So he was like, "Yeah, at night, if we got to p***, just don't flush the toilet." I was like, "All right, bet,"' the 27-year-old said about his veteran teammate. Metcalf recalled getting the urge at around 9:30pm on Wednesday, before he text Rodgers to ask: 'You asleep yet?' When the four-time MVP confirmed he was awake, DK replied: 'All right, bet. I'm about to flush the toilet.' The Steelers are hoping for Rodgers and Metcalf to build a rapport that carries over onto the field in the coming season. This campaign may well mark Rodgers' last in the NFL after more than two decades, meaning he will want to go out with a bang. However, his opening practice with Pittsburgh did not get off to the best start after he threw an interception with his very first pass. 'It's good to get that out the way,' Rodgers later said with a grin.
