Jude Bellingham, the Real Madrid and England midfielder, is reportedly set to miss at least the first six weeks of action at the start of the next season due to impending shoulder surgery. The 21-year-old is expected to undergo an operation on his left shoulder after playing the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 for Real Madrid next month, to get rid of persistent problems with it since the year 2023.
Notably, as per the report published in BBC Sport, Jude Bellingham has scheduled an operation on his shoulder following the conclusion of the Club World Cup, with its final set to happen on 13 July in the United States of America. The shoulder injury was sustained at the end of 2023 while he played for Real Madrid versus Rayo Vallecano, which initially led to him missing two matches for his club and country.
