Bellingham could face surgery, potentially missing the European Super Cup

Cadena SER has dropped one of the bombshells of the year in the Real Madrid universe. Bellingham could go under the knife and could miss the European Super Cup.

Jude Bellingham is one of the main stories of the day in a Real Madrid universe that is echoing the information coming from Cadena SER about the Englishman’s health status. The Briton could undergo surgery after the European Championship and could even miss the European Super Cup against Gasperini’s Atalanta.

After an initial 12 months at the Santiago Bernabéu where he was crowned champion on three occasions and was even given the award for the best player in the current edition of the Spanish Primera División, Jude Bellingham is preparing for a European Championship where he will seek to lead England to their first title in the competition while the race for the Ballon d’Or continues. After the tournament, it may be time for a break.

It all started with the radio station’s report on the goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu. Since November 2023, Real Madrid has been aware of the damage to Jude Bellingham’s shoulder and the need to treat the injury with quick and long-term solutions. The schedule of both the Whites and the English national team means that decisions must be made after the European Championship.

The Super Cup up in the air

Cadena SER confirms that no scenario is ruled out, and that if the player suffers further problems or pain in the national team tournament, the Real Madrid medical department will opt for surgery to end Bellingham’s left shoulder problems. The season starts on August 14th in Warsaw.

We are talking about Real Madrid’s first official match of the next season, against Atalanta, who beat Xabi Alonso in the Europa League final. It is also the first of the seven competitions that Carlo Ancelotti’s squad will play, and right now, no one can rule out Bellingham being ruled out. The European Championship and the result it has for England will largely determine how the story unfolds.
