Confirmed: They reveal when Bellingham will return with Real Madrid after his surgery

After a season playing with constant pain, Jude Bellingham underwent surgery last Thursday. The Real Madrid player had been dealing with severe shoulder pain since his injury against Rayo and has played with discomfort ever since.

Therefore, Jude Bellingham will be away from the field for a considerable amount of time. The English footballer will miss the entire start of the season and won't return until October.

Jude Bellingham was successfully operated on for his shoulder discomfort

Jude Bellingham underwent surgery for a shoulder injury that had been causing him discomfort for months. This could be one of the main reasons why he has experienced this drop in performance compared to last year, which was outstanding. Real Madrid released a statement about the player's physical condition.

"Our player Jude Bellingham has successfully undergone surgery for a recurrent dislocation in his left shoulder. The operation was performed by doctors Manuel Leyes and Andrew Wallace, under the supervision of Real Madrid's Medical Services. Bellingham now begins a period of rehabilitation before returning to recovery work," the club said.

Jude Bellingham's recovery time

Although the exact recovery time isn't mentioned, Defensa Central learned that Jude Bellingham will be out until early October. In fact, the English player could return for the league match against FC Barcelona.

This would mean he would miss eight, nine, or even ten LaLiga matchdays, as well as the first two rounds of the Champions League. Without a doubt, this is a significant loss for Real Madrid and for Xabi Alonso. However, Jude Bellingham had to undergo surgery no matter what, as it was unfeasible to spend another season in that physical condition.

For now, the main replacement Xabi Alonso is considering for that position is Franco Mastantuono. The Argentine will have a golden opportunity as soon as he arrives at Santiago Bernabéu to earn a spot in the starting eleven. Another option available to Real Madrid is to play Arda Güler as an attacking midfielder, leaving the forward positions to Vinícius, Mbappé, and Gonzalo.
