Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham needs shoulder surgery for an injury he suffered last November. He injured his left shoulder playing against Rayo Vallecano. The team's medical staff tried rest and a shoulder brace instead of surgery, but these methods failed to fix the problem. His pain continues despite wearing protection during games.
The club wants him to wait until after the Club World Cup before having surgery, but Bellingham prefers to fix his shoulder right away. If Madrid loses its chance at winning La Liga, it might have surgery after the Clásico. Recovery will keep him off the field for more than a month, which would make him miss most of the Club World Cup games.
Because of this injury, his performance dropped during the second half of the season. Madrid values him as a key player alongside Vinicius and Mbappe. The Relief Network first reported this story about the timing dispute. His importance makes this medical decision extra tricky for everyone involved.
