Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham is set to undergo surgery on Wednesday in London to treat a persistent injury in his left shoulder that he has been suffering from since November 2023.
According to Spanish radio station Onda Cero, the midfielder is expected to be sidelined for 10 to 12 weeks, ruling him out of the start of the new season with Real Madrid.
His return is anticipated after the international break in October.
Bellingham first sustained a shoulder dislocation during a match against Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu. Since then, he has been playing with a heavy medical bandage that restricted his movement and impacted his performance, despite his determination to continue playing until the end of the season.
Although neither Bellingham nor Real Madrid have officially announced the surgery, the decision was reportedly made following the FIFA Club World Cup.
The club decided to use the three-week summer break to carry out the operation and ensure a full recovery ahead of the crucial phases of the season.
