Bellingham's Injury Sparks Controversy at Real Madrid: 'He Can't Continue'

Despite the fact that Jude Bellingham has continued to accumulate minutes during the current 24/25 season, the English footballer is injured. He constantly suffers from discomfort in his left shoulder that he has been dealing with since early November 2023, when he faced Rayo Vallecano at Santiago Bernabéu.

The medical staff of the white club indicated that the English '5' should undergo surgery at the end of that season to correct the displacement of his joint, an ailment that could impair his performance. But the presence of the Euro Cup at the end of the past season, a tournament the footballer wanted to attend, made it impossible for him to go under the knife.

The merengue midfielder started the current soccer season with the same left shoulder problems, making a preparation as long as it is laborious a regular occurrence. The bulky bandage that protects that joint has become one of Jude Bellingham's 'trademarks', but many believe he should get rid of that 'armor' as soon as possible.

The goal is to avoid being injured for a longer time. His discreet performance this season, according to some commentators and analysts, is partly due to the prolonged left shoulder injury. Miguel 'Látigo' Serrano is a fervent defender of that opinion: "Jude Bellingham needs to stop playing, undergo surgery, and return to play when he can".

Uncertain Future

The commentator and journalist makes it clear that Jude Bellingham's return should not have a set date: "in December, whenever. He can't keep playing with that shoulder injury", states Miguel 'Látigo' Serrano about the situation one of the most important players of the first team is going through this season.

His preparation to enter the field at the Coliseum, in the second half, offered a clear view of the process the English footballer is going through to be able to play effectively. It has already been a year and a half since Jude Bellingham has been injured in the left shoulder and his prospects for surgery do not seem optimistic.

Once again a competition organized in the summer, in this case the Club World Cup, would prevent Real Madrid's '5' from undergoing shoulder surgery. So far, that particular 'case' has not sparked much debate within the white club, but it has resurfaced in the spotlight before the Copa del Rey final.

In any case, the saga surrounding Jude Bellingham's injury will continue for a few more months. Real Madrid has very important matches ahead for the course of the current season, games in which Jude Bellingham plays an indispensable and essential role.
