Jude Bellingham has given fans an intimate look at his rehabilitation journey following recent shoulder surgery, showcasing his leaner physique and a prominent scar from the procedure. The 22-year-old midfielder, who underwent the operation in London three weeks ago, shared clips of his recovery regimen via Instagram, including mobility drills and physiotherapy sessions.
The England international had battled persistent shoulder issues for over 18 months, culminating in a dislocation during Real Madrid's clash against Rayo Vallecano in November 2023. After opting for surgery to address recurring pain and instability, Bellingham documented his progress from Jamaica, where he’s combining recovery with downtime. His posts, captioned “one love” and “3 weeks post op”, amassed over 2 million likes within hours.
In one video, Bellingham performed resistance exercises shirtless, revealing a surgical scar stretching from his armpit to shoulder joint. Another clip featured collaborative work with a physiotherapist to assess range of motion. The athlete expressed gratitude to medical teams at Fortius Clinic and Real Madrid staff, stating, “The process to come back has already started – see you soon.”
Bellingham is expected to miss the opening months of the 2025-26 season, potentially sidelined until October. His return could align with Real Madrid’s October 19 league match against Getafe, following the international break. The surgery aims to resolve long-term discomfort for the Champions League winner, who starred in his debut Bernabéu campaign with league and European triumphs.
As rehabilitation progresses, fans and teammates await the midfielder’s full recovery, hoping he can replicate last season’s record-breaking form upon his return.
