Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to be sidelined for up to 12 weeks as he recovers from shoulder surgery, which the Spanish club confirmed on Wednesday had been performed successfully.
Although Madrid did not disclose the expected duration of his recovery, reports from Spanish media suggest it will take approximately 12 weeks for him to return to action.
Our player Jude Bellingham has undergone successful surgery for a recurrent left shoulder dislocation, said Real Madrid in a statement.
Bellingham has been dealing with shoulder pain after dislocating it during a La Liga match in November 2023, and he has been playing with a brace underneath his shirt since that incident.
The England international decided to postpone the surgery until after Madrids run in the Club World Cup this summer, where Xabi Alonsos team advanced to the semi-finals.
