Bellingham's message after his shoulder surgery warns Xabi Alonso: 'It's already started'

One of the latest Real Madrid developments is Jude Bellingham's surgery. The top-level elimination of the white squad in the Club World Cup, after the heavy defeat against PSG, opens the door to many more changes for the merengue sports discipline. One of the most notable is the absence of the British "5".

Xabi Alonso is starting to have a clear idea of the first moves to replace the temporary loss of the "Pride of Birmingham", whose recovery time is expected to be three months (3 months). Meanwhile, the Tolosa coach is meeting with his staff to shape the 25/26 season, and the English footballer is sending a message to the coach.

Shortly after finishing that operation on his left shoulder, Jude Bellingham shared an image through his social media. In it, the Real Madrid footballer can be seen just out of surgery, with a sling immobilizing the arm of the affected joint. He not only thanked the professionals responsible for his procedure.

He also acknowledged "all the good wishes and messages of affection" that both those closest to him and his followers and Real Madrid fans have sent him. That mention, however, doesn't keep him from focusing on what truly matters: his return to the white sports discipline.

There is no rush

Jude Bellingham points out that "the process to return" to the field "has already begun", something that has become his only and top priority since the operation ended. He knows that right now he has an untransferable and undisputed place in the merengue first team, a status he'd like to keep... given the rapid changes introduced by Xabi Alonso.

That's why he has warned that "we'll see each other very soon". This message to the Real Madrid coach, who has expressed his reservations about the commitment and defensive effort of almost the entire squad, doesn't go unnoticed. Especially because Xabi Alonso needs the best Jude Bellingham for all his tactical schemes and plans to succeed, as was shown in the Club World Cup.

Even though the English midfielder is very eager to return with his teammates, from the Valdebebas offices they won't miss a single detail of his recovery process. Not only out of usual caution: the main goal is to prevent Bellingham, driven by his eagerness to get back on the field, from shortening deadlines and speeding up his recovery unnecessarily.

That idea terrifies the executives led by Florentino Pérez, since a more complicated injury for Jude Bellingham would make him miss many more matches in the season. That's a top-level neither Real Madrid nor the English midfielder can afford, so caution with his return will be total at every stage of the process.
