Bellingham has successfully undergone left shoulder surgery and is expected to return in mid-October, according to the Marca.

Bellingham has undergone shoulder surgery to solve the problems that have plagued him since the Dortmund period. In a game in the fall of 2023, he accidentally fell after a fight, causing his injury to worsen.

Since then, Bellingham has been playing with protective gear, which, while reducing the risk of further injury, has not completely eliminated the pain. In order to completely solve the problem and to meet the 2025/26 season at its best, Bellingham decided to undergo surgery, and this necessary rest will help him return to his best form.

Real Madrid said that Bellingham will undergo surgery in London and it is expected to take 12 weeks to recover. The club is not in a hurry to get him back, but hopes that he can fully recover and then return to the field. According to the plan, Bellingham will return to the court in mid-October.

Obviously, Bellingham's absence will have a certain impact on the game in the early stage of the new season. However, due to the two national team match days during this period, this will reduce the number of club matches he missed.

Last season, Bellingham postponed surgery due to the European Cup. Now, with the Club World Cup ending and the national team's match day being far away, Bellingham can finally have surgery to return to his best shape at a critical stage of the season.

Real Madrid Official Statement:

Our player Bellingham has successfully undergone repeated dislocation of the left shoulder, which was completed by Dr. Manuel Leyes and Dr. Andrew Wallace, and was supervised by Real Madrid's medical team. Bellingham will now begin rehabilitation training to prepare for a return to the field.
