After failing at the club world cup, Bellingham is set to end its shoulder woes. Reportedly he will take a long break for shoulder surgery that has been suffered for almost 2 years. This condition is certainly an additional strength vulnerability. I don't know how many weeks Bellingham will rest, but I think he won't be able to start playing for the start of the season but prediction is October. But they do have a lot of cover although they still don't have much experience and hours in La Liga. Xabi still has Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos.

If everything is OK with the defenders, Valverde can return to the middle, but without Bellingham it will be difficult for some time, because he has become an important player in attack. And now there are also some conflicts with Vinicius because of his salary, so all this does not have a positive effect on the mood in the team.
