Jude Bellingham Ready to Shine for Real Madrid Again in Early October

Footem.in – Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham, who is currently injured, aims to return to the pitch in early October 2025. However, the club is taking a cautious approach in managing his recovery.

Bellingham chose to undergo shoulder surgery this summer shortly after Real Madrid’s exit from the Club World Cup held in the United States last June-July.

The England international has been dealing with shoulder issues since late 2023, but initially continued playing through the discomfort while undergoing conservative treatment.

Ultimately, Bellingham decided it was time to address the issue surgically last month, which means he will be out for an extended period.

Bellingham Aims for Early October Comeback

Bellingham has missed two La Liga matches at the start of this season. Xabi Alonso opted for a midfield trio of Federico Valverde, Arda Guler, and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Initial reports suggested Bellingham might return by late October or early November 2025, meaning he would miss the first El Clasico of the season.

However, journalist Ruben Martin indicates that Bellingham’s recovery is progressing well.

Given this, Bellingham is striving to be available sooner than expected.

Real Madrid’s Decision

The former Borussia Dortmund star is targeting a return in early October, even before the second international break of the season.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid has chosen to be cautious, not wanting to rush their star midfielder’s return.

It remains to be seen whether Bellingham’s recovery from shoulder surgery will occur sooner than anticipated.

For now, his recovery is going well, and he is determined to return in early October.

Injury Since November 2023

Bellingham suffered a dislocated shoulder in a match against Rayo Vallecano in November 2023.

He opted to continue playing despite the pain and delayed surgery, using a special brace.

Eventually, he underwent shoulder surgery in London on July 16, 2025, with hopes of fully resolving the issue.
