Jude Bellingham needs surgery! Real Madrid midfielder to finally go under the knife this summer after delaying procedure to play at Euro 2024 with England

LaLiga

Real Madrid

Mallorca

<p>Bellingham’s shoulder troubles can be traced back to his spell at Borussia Dortmund. The issue escalated in November 2023, when Bellingham <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jude-bellingham-disappointment-learn-from-lamine-yamal-graeme-souness-barcelona-star-inter/bltd03ffe323581a4ef#cs371f0e13e1bc6f2c" target="_blank">dislocated his left shoulder during a La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano</a>. The setback sidelined him for several games, both for Real Madrid and the England national team, prompting speculation that he might finally undergo surgery. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to a report from Spanish outlet <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/05/10/obligado-viaje-centro-campo-jude-bellingham.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca,</em></a> the plan is now leaning heavily towards finally repairing the shoulder during the offseason. The publication indicates that Bellingham and Real Madrid are prepared to use the summer as the window to address the issue once and for all, allowing the midfielder to return fully fit for the start of the next campaign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Real Madrid's medical team believes that no time is ideal for such a procedure, but the upcoming break provides the most logical opportunity. Reconstructive surgery would offer Bellingham a long-term solution, eliminating the need for constant taping and protective gear, and allowing him to perform without restriction.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Bellingham and Real Madrid have pressing business to attend to, most notably a high-stakes clash against Barcelona on May 11. The upcoming edition of El Clásico, to be played at Barcelona’s  Montjuïc stadium, is shaping up to be a pivotal clash in the La Liga title race as the two Spanish giants are separated by just four points.</p>
