The 22-year-old delayed surgery to boost Real Madrid’s Club World Cup run to the semi-finals.
With the operation behind him, he now starts a 12-week rehab program.
That timeline rules him out of September’s Madrid derby, the first two Champions League group games and England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
“I’m fed up with the brace… having to tug on it and having it rearrange all the time,” – he said during the Club World Cup, highlighting how the injury held him back.
Fans can expect the England midfielder back by late October, just in time for El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu.
This challenge will test both club and country, but Bellingham’s youth and top medical support should help him return stronger.
