Jude Bellingham Undergoes Successful Shoulder Repair, Faces 10- to 12-Week Layoff

Bellingham underwent an arthroscopic labrum repair on July 16 in London, performed by Drs. Manuel Leyes and Andrew Wallace under Real Madrid’s medical supervision. The club confirmed the operation restored joint stability after a recurring left shoulder dislocation first suffered on November 5, 2023. He will now follow a 10- to 12-week rehabilitation program that will sideline him until October, ruling him out of the early La Liga season and opening Champions League fixtures. The 22-year-old delayed definitive surgery through the 2023–24 campaign and until after the Club World Cup, managing pain with conservative treatment and special bandaging. Manager Xabi Alonso is evaluating midfield cover from players like Arda Güler and newcomer Franco Mastantuono during Bellingham’s absence.
