Real Madrid will be busy this summer with Squad changes and the Club World Cup, but another problem to contend with involved Jude Bellingham. The English international, which will miss the last LA Liga match of this weekend of the season against Real Sociedad, is expected to undergo an operation at a certain point before the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
Given that Real Madrid is involved in the club's World Cup in the United States, every decision about the shoulder operation of Bellingham will be delayed until their participation comes to an end. As such, the most likely date for the operation would be mid-July, but if so, there are fears that the 21-year-old would miss a considerable part of the new season.
As reported by Sport, Real Madrid is concerned that Bellingham could be out of operation for a maximum of three months. The operation he needs on his shoulder will certainly be extensive, since he has worn the injury for more than 18 months, and as such an important dismissal period will probably be needed.
In view of the fact that the club believes that the start of the new season is the best period for the Star -midfielder to miss, it would not be a surprise to see his operation take place in July. Within Real Madrid they understand that Bellingham cannot continue to play with this shoulder operation, because it is clear that his performance has an effect on his performance – which they are disappointed about.
It is still to be seen how Real Madrid and Bellingham approach the surgical situation. It is unlikely that he goes under the knife before the World Cup Club, so at this stage everything points out that he misses the preseason and the start of the new campaign as a result of performing the operation in July.
