Real Madrid's star midfielder Jude Bellingham is facing a significant spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery in London to fix a persistent shoulder issue. He's expected to miss 10-12 weeks, impacting the start of the season.
Real Madrid's 2024-25 season ended with a Club World Cup exit. Their request to delay the 2025-26 season opener for more pre-season training was denied by La Liga president Javier Tebas, leaving them with just 20 days to prepare for Osasuna.
