Bellingham to spend three months on the sidelines with post-Club World Cup shoulder surgery

Bad news for Real Madrid ahead of the start of next season. Jude Bellinham will not be available for the start of the 2025/26 campaign as the England midfielder will undergo shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup.

The former Borussia Dortmund player has been playing for months with shoulder support after already suffering a shoulder injury, which has been causing him pain for much of the season.

Therefore, “Los Blancos” have decided together with the English midfielder that the best thing for him is to undergo surgery in July after the 2025 Club World Cup and miss the pre-season and the first matches of next season.

In this way, the next Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso will have to start his reign at the “Merengues” without Bellingham, who is set to be a key player in the former Leverkusen coach's schemes.
