Terrible news for Real Madrid: He will undergo surgery and return in October.

Real Madrid aims to solve most of the problems encountered during the current season after the Club World Cup. Although some of those complications would be solved before the start of that FIFA competition, thanks to Xabi Alonso's "pressure" to make some signings, the definitive reorganization has a date.

One of the modifications in the first team planned at the end of the tournament organized by the International Federation is closely related to Jude Bellingham. The English footballer still carries the problem in his left shoulder, caused in the middle of the last season, due to the impossibility of undergoing surgery. José Luis Sánchez revealed this on "El Chiringuito de Jugones".

It is "a decision that the player has been pondering for a long time, because the calendar made it very difficult to find an ideal scenario since the competition hasn't stopped since he got injured". For this reason, the footballer has had to "consider it" with his closest circle: the journalist understands that "Real Madrid has made itself available to him" prioritizing the player's decision.

In the Valdebebas offices "they know he can't keep playing with that brace he's wearing". The supports Jude Bellingham uses "are very uncomfortable, they don't allow him to turn comfortably, he has to be very careful with falls and can't give his best possible performance". Therefore, the time has come to put an end to one of the problems he has been dragging for almost a year and a half.

The ideal moment

"Since there is no room this summer either", given the emergence of the Club World Cup during the footballers' summer vacation, José Luis Sánchez sets a definitive date. "It is planned that after the Club World Cup, in those three or four weeks that Real Madrid has off, he will undergo surgery" and begin his recovery as soon as possible. That means "he will miss the start of the season" with Xabi Alonso as the new white coach.

In any case, that decision doesn't imply good news for Real Madrid. Because everything indicates that they will be without a very important player for the starting tactical scheme, thus presenting another challenge for Xabi Alonso in his first weeks as the merengue coach. "The downtime will vary quite a bit, but he will definitely miss the first month of competition", warns José Luis Sánchez.

The Club World Cup changes the start of the 25/26 season at Real Madrid. Everything depends on the white club's progress in this FIFA-organized competition, which modifies the dates of the next league season and Jude Bellingham's recovery times. "If they delay the start of Real Madrid's League because they go very far, maybe that surgery will have a longer recovery period", ventures the journalist from LaSexta.

That being the case, "with the brace he has to play with in every match, it's impossible for him to give his maximum performance". Jude Bellingham is "jumping with caution, falling with caution, going into duels with caution". For this reason, the footballer has decided to undergo surgery on his left shoulder after the Club World Cup, correcting an ailment he has endured for almost a year and a half.
