The date when Bellingham would return to Real Madrid: a high-voltage match

The Englishman is working tirelessly on his recovery and on shortening the timeline. He is expected to be seen back in the classic

Good news for Real Madrid. Jude Bellingham already has a set date to return to the field. The Englishman, who underwent surgery after the Club World Cup ended, following a dislocation in his left shoulder, could return earlier than expected.

The midfielder has worked tirelessly on his recovery. According to the initial timeline, his return was scheduled for El Clásico against FC Barcelona. That match will be played the weekend of October 26 at Santiago Bernabéu.

However, the latest information suggests that Bellingham will be available a month earlier. The goal is the classic against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. The scheduled date is September 28, a clash that promises maximum tension.

An early recovery

The club's medical staff have closely monitored every step of his rehabilitation. The footballer's physical response has been excellent. His progress has exceeded expectations and his return has accelerated significantly.

The player himself has shown his commitment to the process. He has shared images on social media training alone and doing specific exercises to strengthen the affected area.

Bellingham's return comes at a crucial moment in the season. Real Madrid faces demanding weeks with commitments in LaLiga and the Champions League. Getting its star player back is a relief for Xabi Alonso, who has had to restructure the midfield in his absence.

The Englishman is much more than a midfielder. His arrival in the box, his leadership skills, and his goals have made the difference since he arrived in Madrid. The Madrid fans dream of seeing him in action again as soon as possible.

The classic, first major test

The clash against Atlético de Madrid is one of the most desired on the calendar. An event full of excitement, intensity, and rivalry. If there are no setbacks, Bellingham will put on his kit again in that high-pressure setting.

Real Madrid trusts him to be at his best. His return could be decisive in a high-voltage match and in the crucial stretch of the season.
