Real Madrid could lose talisman for two months as threat of surgery looms

In a potentially significant setback for Real Madrid, it has come to light that Jude Bellingham is still struggling with a shoulder injury.

This information, reported by Jorge Picon, indicates that the club plans to assess his condition after the European Championship and at this point, the possibility of surgery has not been ruled out.

Furthermore, if Bellingham undergoes an operation to address the issue permanently, he could be sidelined for at least two months.

It must be noted that Bellingham’s injury occurred on November 5 during a league match against Rayo Vallecano. A bad fall on his left shoulder caused the problem that continues to affect him.

This injury even led to a significant change in Madrid’s medical staff, with Niko Mihic being replaced as the team’s medical chief. Back then, after resting for a few games, Bellingham returned to play, but there is growing support for the idea of surgery.

Bellingham’s shoulder has still not healed

Despite not having the best performance in the European Championship, Bellingham remains a crucial player for the England team.

It is important to note that he has been playing with this physical problem, as his left shoulder injury has not fully healed. While Real Madrid hope to avoid surgery, they understand that it is a viable option that is becoming increasingly likely.

Right now, the footballer is experiencing discomfort, something he has grown accustomed to playing through, but it remains bothersome.

Real Madrid are considering all possibilities, including surgery, which would force him to take a break for at least two months, but any decision will be made after the Euros

Real Madrid want to avoid surgery.

It is said that the goal is to avoid surgery if possible. The good news is that Bellingham has not suffered any further dislocations.

His shoulder is holding up well enough to stay in place, but the pain persists which is why the England international often plays with some form of protection to prevent further issues.

He has been seen wearing a shoulder pad commonly used in sports like the NFL. Additionally, he has had to rely on painkillers to manage the discomfort.
