Jude Bellingham to miss LaLiga season start due to shoulder surgery

Jude Bellingham — Real Madrid’s key midfielder — will be absent at the start of LaLiga 2025-2026 season due to shoulder surgery, as reported by The New York Times.

The English international has been dealing with his left shoulder issue since a match against Rayo Vallecano — when he suffered a shoulder dislocation about one and a half years ago.

The injury sustained by Bellingham has become a persistent problem — forcing the former Borussia Dortmund player to undergo surgical procedure for complete recovery.

The absence of the 22-year-old midfielder is a significant blow for Real Madrid — who must start the new season without one of their key players in midfield.
