Jude Bellingham could be sidelined until October following shoulder surgery

Real Madrid and England midfielder Jude Bellingham has undergone shoulder surgery.

It was reported in May that Bellingham would have surgery following this summer’s Club World Cup and on Wednesday, Real confirmed the procedure had taken place to treat a recurring dislocation of his left shoulder.

The surgery is reportedly set to sideline him until October, but the Spanish club did not confirm any length of absence, saying only that Bellingham would now “begin a period of rehabilitation prior to his return to recovery work”.

Real said the surgery had been performed by Drs Manuel Leyes and Andrew Wallace, under the supervision of Real Madrid Medical Services.
