Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham undergoes successful shoulder surgery
Bellingham has been managing the injury since 2023, playing with his shoulder strapped, but the 22-year-old decided to go under the knife after Real Madrid's campaign at the Club World Cup, where they lost to Paris St Germain in the semi-finals.
"Bellingham will now undergo a period of rehabilitation, prior to returning to training and starting his recovery," Real Madrid said in a statement.
The club did not give a timeline on his return but Spanish media reported the England international could miss two to three months of action and potentially return in October.
Real Madrid begin the new LaLiga season on August 19 with a home game against Osasuna.

Sunday's briefing: England hopeful on Williamson as Barcelona move for Rashford
Barcelona are in talks to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. Ruben Amorim believes Matheus Cunha showed he is what United need in their friendly draw with Leeds. England defender Esme Morgan insisted the Lionesses were 'very optimistic' captain Leah Williamson would be fit to play in Tuesday's Euro 2025 semi-final against Italy after she was forced off in their dramatic last-eight triumph over Sweden. Williamson rolled her ankle and left Thursday's contest in the first period of extra-time – after goals from Lucy Bronze and Michelle Agyemang snatched the Lionesses a late 2-2 draw after 90 minutes – before they booked a last-four spot following a dramatic penalty shootout. Morgan was introduced as part of a 70th-minute triple change and is prepared to play any role for the defending champions in Geneva – including stepping in for the skipper, if necessary. 'The same as every single game, I'm going to be prepared to play if I'm needed,' said Morgan. 'I'll know the role and just be absolutely ready to train at a high level over the next few days, but we're very optimistic Leah will be fine.' Barcelona are pushing to complete the signing of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, the PA news agency understands. The 27-year-old has not played for his boyhood club since being hauled off in a Europa League match away to Viktoria Plzen on December 12 and ended the season on loan at Aston Villa. Rashford has trained away from Ruben Amorim's first-team since pre-season began and appears to be edging closer to a dream switch to Barcelona. It is understood talks are progressing on a deal to take the United outcast to the LaLiga outfit, with a season-long loan including an option to buy being worked on.

Seven weeks after bringing the curtain down on their post-season trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong, the Red Devils stepped up their preparations for the new campaign at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm. Amorim's men and rivals Leeds fought out a scoreless draw, with both sides making wholesale changes midway through a friendly that saw Cunha make his first appearance since his £62.5million switch from Wolves. 'I think Matheus Cunha showed what we need – that is the player when he receives the ball between the lines can be really aggressive in direction of the opponent.

Germany hit back with a header from Chelsea's Sjoeke Nusken midway through the first half before herself missing from the spot after the break. But goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger was the hero for the 2013 European champions with two saves in the shoot-out to send her side through.
