Bellingham updates Real Madrid fans on recovery ahead of El Clásico

Jude Bellingham is making encouraging progress in his recovery and could return to the pitch earlier than expected, potentially featuring in the upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona.
Back in training after eight months
The 22-year-old midfielder returned to Real Madrid training eight months after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Rayo Vallecano. Following surgery, Bellingham has been following a strict rehabilitation program.
He shared a positive update on social media, posting a photo alongside Vinicius Junior at Valdebebas with the caption: “8 weeks… Back on the field with my brothers!” Fans welcomed the reassurance, highlighting his commitment and determination.
Cautious approach from the club
Despite his rapid progress, Real Madrid is maintaining a zero-risk policy, prioritizing full recovery before returning him to official matches. The midfielder is expected to miss the next LaLiga match against Real Sociedad, but his presence at training has lifted the spirits of both the coaching staff and supporters.
Potential boost for El Clásico
Bellingham’s return could be a key reinforcement for the El Clásico in late October, a crucial fixture for LaLiga standings. Physiotherapists at the club are carefully monitoring his training schedule to avoid any risk of relapse in the operated shoulder.
Regaining influence at Madrid
Since joining Real Madrid, Bellingham has been a central figure in the team’s midfield plans. His discipline and dedication during recovery reinforce his reputation as a resilient athlete, poised to strengthen the squad in LaLiga and the Champions League.
