Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino gives the green light to Xabi Alonso with Jude Bellingham, final decision
Bellingham's future may undergo a change, president and coach have already discussed it
Real Madrid has started the season with several important absences for Xabi Alonso. Surely the most notable has been Jude Bellingham, who underwent shoulder surgery to put his problems behind him. That will cause him to take several weeks to return at one hundred percent.
People close to Bellingham have indicated the timeline the English footballer has set for his return. According to The Athletic, they expect him to be able to return at the end of September. Even though at first it was suggested he would return more likely in October.
However, everything will depend on Xabi Alonso, who is more in favor of being patient and not rushing his return. He doesn't want to rush and wants to minimize the risks of a relapse that would extend his time out. Above all, he is considering that recovery from this surgery is usually lengthy.
The club will support Xabi Alonso if he delays Jude's return as long as necessary. Florentino has conveyed this to the man from Tolosa to ensure his return is at one hundred percent. This is what sources close to Real Madrid have told Defensa Central.
Bellingham has worked to return as soon as possible
Bellingham was clear that after the Club World Cup ended, he would undergo surgery this summer. Last year, he didn't do it after reaching the Euro Cup final with England. However, they didn't want to wait any longer to try to recover the best version of the Englishman.
In his first season, he was key and performed at a high level, especially in front of the opponent's goal. However, he was hampered by his shoulder in the second season, and that has been noticeable despite his flashes. That's why he himself has worked during the summer with the goal of being available as soon as possible.
During his vacation, we've seen him training to carry out his rehabilitation after undergoing surgery. He didn't want to waste time knowing his absence would be extended for several weeks. Although Xabi Alonso will hold him back to prevent them from rushing and risking a relapse.
