Jude Bellingham has just gone through a completely empty season with Real Madrid. They lost to Barcelona in the Supercopa final, Copa Del Rey and the El Clasico match that decided the La Liga championship.
In the UEFA Champions League arena, Los Blancos stopped Arsenal in the quarter-finals with a total loss of 1-5 in a row.
One of the reasons why Bellingham's form this season is no longer as excellent as last season was a persistent shoulder injury.
The English midfielder had planned to have a final surgery, but due to the long recovery time, he did not want to miss the important stages of the season with Real Madrid.
After finishing everything and preparing to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Jude Bellingham will be determined to finish it so that he can enter the new season with the best physical condition.
If the surgery is performed right after the FIFA Club World Cup ends, it is expected to take Bellingham 12 weeks to return to the pitch. This means he will miss the early stages of the 2025-2026 season with Real Madrid.
The 21-year-old midfielder suffered a shoulder injury in November 2023, against Rayo Vallecano. Bellingham suffered a shoulder injury and tried to play the whole match but had to miss the next 4 matches. Since then, every time Bellingham has played, he has had to use a very careful left shoulder area to avoid more serious injuries.
Since October last year, Real Madrid have been determined to have surgery to completely treat Jude Bellingham. The Los Blancos medical team determined that Bellingham should be treated as soon as possible.
Many times this season, that plan has been scheduled, but because Real Madrid have lost in all competitions, Bellingham has to suppress the pain to play. In addition to the storm of injuries sweeping the Real Madrid squad, Bellingham has more reasons to be forced to play.
Before suffering a shoulder injury in the match against Rayo Vallecano, Bellingham was confirmed by the Real Madrid medical team to have had shoulder problems when he was playing for Borussia Dortmund in the 2020 - 2023 period. During that time, Bellingham had to wear the shoulder brace as he is now twice to be able to play for BVB.
If this time he does not completely treat it, Bellingham is at risk of getting worse in the upcoming season, which is considered very severe. The beginning of the season, when not too fierce, is the most appropriate time for him to completely handle this matter.
Jude Bellingham has made 51 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid this season, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will take place in the US from June 15 to July 13. Real Madrid will face Al Hilal, Pachuca and RB Salzburg in Group H.
