Real Madrid have been dealt a cruel injury blow a month before the beginning of the 2025–26 season after Jude Bellingham recently underwent shoulder surgery.
The 22-year-old went under the knife to remedy a recurrent dislocation on his left shoulder but now faces a lengthy rehabilitation period. He is guaranteed to miss the beginning of the new campaign and is not likely to return until the beginning of October.
A recovery period of 10-12 weeks has been touted for the England international, who will be sorely missed by new Madrid boss Xabi Alonso at the beginning of his first season in the hot seat.
With the 2025–26 La Liga schedule having been revealed, here are the matches Bellingham will miss.
