Real Madrid midfielder confirmed time for return after serious injury

After Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham underwent a shoulder injury, he has been confirmed to be unable to play for at least the first few months of the 2025/26 season.

Bellingham was injured against Vallecano as early as the 2023/24 season, and he has been wearing a stand since then. Things got worse and worse over time, and earlier this year, the England international had to bow his head and announce his surgery.

Now, two weeks have passed in Bellingham's surgery, he is gradually recovering and posting some photos on vacation. One of them specifically shows the effect after the surgery: there is a striking scar on the left shoulder.

As mentioned above, Bellingham is expected to be absent for at least three months after surgery. If the situation is true and everything goes well, his greatest possibility will be his first appearance after an international match in October.

Fortunately, during Bellingham's recovery, there will be no shortage of substitutes in Real Madrid. Alonso has Diaz, Guillail and Mastantono, and all three of them are capable of filling the gap left by the England international.

Considering Bellingham's performance on the court since joining the summer of 2023, the absence of the England international will undoubtedly be a big flaw. However, considering Real Madrid's bench depth at this position, at least they won't worry about having a significant impact on the game.
