Off the back of an insipid defeat to Newcastle last week, Bellamy has been dealt a blow with giant prop Asofa-Solomona sidelined for Friday's game against Parramatta with a dislocated finger.
Asofa-Solomona's loss is compounded by the fact first-choice centre Reimis Smith has sustained a knee injury.
Smith's centre partner Justin Olam has also not been named, forcing Bellamy to turn to Young Tonumaipea and Marion Seve.
The Storm are only in the top four on for and against and a slip-up against an Eels side, who have brought Andrew Davey into cover for Shaun Lane (elbow), will be keen to strengthen their own finals push.
Like Parramatta, South Sydney will be hoping to solidify their chances of a top-eight finish when they face Wests Tigers in Tamworth on Friday.

In Saturday's final game, Matt Moylan remains out of Cronulla's tough away trip to meet Penrith with Braydon Trindall preferred to wear the No. 6 jersey.

Elsewhere, Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo has received a welcome boost with Viliame Kikau, Josh Addo-Carr and Toby Sexton all returning from stints on the sidelines.
The Dogs' dreadful defence will no doubt have Dolphins flyer Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow excited for Sunday's game in Bundaberg.
