According to Cadena SER, this might be a cause for worry for Real Madrid, as the emerging sensation Jude Bellingham may be forced to miss the beginning of the new season due to the possibility that he will require surgery to treat the shoulder troubles he has been experiencing.
The England international, who is just 20 years old, had a remarkable first season at Real Madrid, during which he won three trophies, including the UEFA Champions League, and also received several individual awards.
Bellingham has been honored with many accolades during the season, including Player of the Season in La Liga, Young Player of the Season in the Champions League, and Real Madrid Fans’ Player of the Season.
In the event that Bellingham has surgery
Despite this, Bellingham has had to contend with issues related to his fitness and injuries during the course of the season. As a result, the season has not been without its challenges for him.
Because of this, he has been dealing with shoulder pain ever since November of the previous year, which is one of the issues that has been bothering him for the most of the campaign.

As per the report, the discomfort has been increasing a great deal throughout the final stretch of the season and the midfielder played with a lot of pain.
The reality is that the English midfielder can no longer cope with his ailments and, if they do not subside during the European Championship, he will be forced to undergo surgery.
Pre-season and start of the season in doubt
If the conservative treatment does not work, Bellingham, Real Madrid and his entourage see that there will be no choice but to undergo surgery.
If he is operated on after the Euros, the 20-year-old will miss Real Madrid’s pre-season and the start of La Liga because the approximate time off is three months.
It will certainly be a blow for Real Madrid but having Bellingham at his fittest levels will be important if they are to repeat the success they achieved this past season.
