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.

But the most important thing is that the operation was successful, and now he just needs to focus on his recovery, which will indeed take quite a long time. The news I've heard is that he will be out for approximately three months. And yes, that means Real Madrid will start the season without Bellingham. However, Real Madrid is well prepared and has very high-quality replacement players. However, it still won't be the same as what Bellingham has, so it will still be a bit vulnerable for Real Madrid's performance. But hopefully, Bellingham can recover quickly and return to playing at his best when the time comes.
But one thing that really impressed me about Bellingham was that he'd been dealing with his shoulder problem since November 2023. That's about two years ago. And he'd still been able to play so well all this time, despite the pain he was undoubtedly experiencing. I think this player truly possesses a strong fighting spirit, which is why he delayed surgery for so long.
