Overview

• Real Madrid confirmed that Drs. Manuel Leyes and Andrew Wallace successfully performed an arthroscopic repair on Bellingham’s recurrent left shoulder dislocation in London.
• The 22-year-old will spend about one month immobilised in a sling before entering a structured rehabilitation programme expected to last up to 12 weeks.
• Bellingham will miss Real Madrid’s LaLiga opener on August 19, the first Champions League group matches and England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
• He deferred the procedure until after the Club World Cup to balance a congested schedule of domestic, continental and national-team commitments.
• Having managed the injury with a protective brace since dislocating in November 2023, Bellingham now aims for a full recovery to restore long-term form for club and country.
