Real Madrid’s Midfielder Jude Bellingham to Miss 12 Weeks After Shoulder Surgery
Real Madrid has announced that Jude Bellingham, their 22-year-old midfielder, has successfully undergone surgery for a recurrent left shoulder dislocation. The player is now set to begin his rehabilitation process, with reports suggesting a 12-week recovery period.
Impact on Upcoming Matches
Bellingham’s recovery timeline means he will miss key fixtures, including the La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid and the first two Champions League matches. However, fans can expect his return by late October, just in time for the highly anticipated Clasico against Barcelona.
Bellingham’s Struggle with Shoulder Injury
The England international has been playing with discomfort since dislocating his shoulder in a November 2023 La Liga match, opting to delay surgery until after the Club World Cup. His absence will also be felt in the England squad, as he misses World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
