Bellingham focused on recovery: "The comeback process has already begun"

After postponing his surgery for a while due to Real Madrid's busy schedule, England's Jude Bellingham finally underwent surgery a couple of days ago on the left shoulder that has been giving him so many problems for more than a year.

On Friday, July 18, the midfielder shared an optimistic message on his Instagram account following the operation at the Fortius Clinic, expressing his eagerness to begin his rehabilitation in order to return to the team in October or November.

"Thanks to Andrew Wallace and Susan Alexander, their team and everyone at the Fortius Clinic for the surgery and the hospitality. To Ivan Ortega and Dr. Leyes for travelling to support me. And finally, to everyone else for the well wishes and messages of love. The comeback process has already begun, see you soon," Bellingham stated.

Bellingham has been struggling with shoulder issues since his first season with the club, specifically from the end of 2023, when he first suffered a serious injury to the area.

Despite this, the relentless schedule of matches and tournaments, especially with a European Championship in 2024 and the Club World Cup in 2025, have repeatedly delayed the Englishman's necessary surgery. As a result, he will miss the first few months of the season with Real Madrid and also be absent from the upcoming international breaks with England.
