Madrid fans, gather here — this one will put a smile on your face. After weeks of watching from the sidelines, Jude Bellingham has been spotted back on the grass, and omo, this is the kind of update supporters have been praying for.
Surgery, Recovery, and a Long Wait
The England international has been battling a stubborn shoulder injury for months. According to reports, the discomfort became too much to manage, so after Real Madrid wrapped up their Club World Cup campaign, Bellingham and the medical team decided enough was enough — surgery was the way forward.
On July 15th, the 21-year-old flew to London to have the procedure done. The recovery timeline meant he was expected to miss the early months of the new season, but the midfielder has been working hard behind the scenes to bounce back stronger.
Omo! First Time Back on the Grass
Fast forward to Friday morning, and fans finally got the update they’d been waiting for — Bellingham was out at Valdebebas training ground, boots on, and back in action (well, light action). It’s his first time on the pitch since the surgery, and while he’s not yet ready for competitive games, the sight alone was enough to get Madridistas buzzing online.
What This Means for Real Madrid
For manager Xabi Alonso, this is massive. Bellingham’s energy, creativity, and goal-scoring ability were a huge part of Madrid’s success last season. Even though he’s still on the road to full fitness, just having him around the squad will lift the mood ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
The club has not given a confirmed return date, but this progress suggests Bellingham could be back earlier than expected — though the team will be careful not to rush him.
Eyes on the New Season
Real Madrid are gearing up for another intense La Liga title race and a Champions League push. Having Bellingham fit and firing will be crucial, especially in the big matches where moments of magic make all the difference.
For now, fans can only wait, but Friday’s training sighting has given them fresh hope.
