Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is expected to make his return to action in late September, earlier than the initially projected October comeback, according to The Athletic. The England international has been sidelined due to injury, raising concerns for both club and country ahead of a packed football calendar.
While Bellingham’s recovery is progressing well, Real Madrid remain cautious and are determined not to rush the 21-year-old back into action. The Spanish giants are wary of risking a relapse, especially given the midfielder’s importance to Xabi Alonso’s plans and his crucial role in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Sources suggest that even if Bellingham is declared fully fit ahead of schedule, the club will follow medical protocols strictly before clearing him to play. The idea is to ensure a complete recovery rather than jeopardizing his long-term fitness for short-term gain.
Bellingham has been a revelation since joining Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023. He quickly established himself as a talisman, delivering goals, creativity, and leadership well beyond his age. His absence has been felt, but Madrid’s squad depth has managed to ease the pressure in his time out.
