Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham undergoes shoulder injury and set to miss early part of season

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham underwent surgery on his left shoulder on Wednesday. The club stated the procedure was necessary to address a "recurrent dislocation" of that shoulder and confirmed the surgery was successful.

Following the operation, Bellingham will now enter a rehabilitation phase before he can return to training and begin his recovery. While the club did not specify the expected duration of his absence, reports in Spanish media suggest he could be sidelined for approximately two to three months.

This timeline indicates Bellingham is likely to miss the beginning of Real Madrid's La Liga season, which commences with a match against Osasuna on August 19.
