Following his red card this past weekend, it appears Los Blancos will be without the 20-year-old midfielder until the end of this month.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund man was shown sent off in a 2-2 draw with Valencia in LALIGA on Saturday, after he lost his temper with match referee Jesus Gil Manzano following a controversial stoppage-time incident.
Bellingham scored what he believed was the winning goal in the 99th minute with a headed effort from close range only to discover Manzano had blown the final whistle only seconds beforehand.
After the chaos that ensued at the Mestalla Stadium, Real have reportedly appealed the official's decision to give the midfielder his marching orders.
AS, however, claims the Competition Committee will reject the rebuttal, which will leave the 14-time UEFA Champions League winners without Bellingham for matches against Celta Vigo, Osasuna and potentially Athletic Club.
