Jude Bellingham<\/a> has returned to training with his Real Madrid<\/a> teammates for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery this summer.<\/p>\n

The star midfielder, 22, had surgery on his left shoulder on July 16 — after Madrid’s elimination from the Club World Cup — to deal with a persistent dislocation problem which had troubled him since 2023.<\/p>\n

ESPN reported<\/a> that the England<\/a> international would be unavailable for between 10 and 12 weeks, which put him on track to return for Madrid in early October.<\/p>\n

Photos and videos posted by the club on their website and social media on Tuesday showed Bellingham taking part in some training exercises with the group.<\/p>\n

Bellingham also shared a photo of himself in training on Instagram, writing: “8 weeks… Back on the pitch with my brothers!”<\/p>\n

Madrid are currently top of LaLiga with nine points after three games, having beaten Osasuna<\/a>, Real Oviedo<\/a> and Real Mallorca<\/a> so far.<\/p>\n

They visit Real Sociedad<\/a> on Saturday, before hosting Espanyol<\/a> and travelling to Levante<\/a>, followed by a derby with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid on Sep. 27.<\/p>\n

Bellingham has been a key player for Madrid since joining in the summer of 2023 from Borussia Dortmund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He scored 19 goals in 28 LaLiga appearances in his debut season, and then nine goals in 31 league games last campaign.<\/p>\n

Under new coach Xabi Alonso, he started all six of Madrid’s games at the Club World Cup, where he was one of the team’s most influential players.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the United States, Bellingham said he was “fed up” with having to wear a protective strap on his shoulder, saying surgery had “been a long time coming.”<\/p>\n

The midfielder first dislocated his shoulder in a game against Rayo Vallecano<\/a> in November 2023, and had opted to manage the injury since, until this summer’s surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jude Bellingham has returned to training with his Real Madrid teammates for the first time since undergoing shoulder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-145215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
