"Bellingham, who is undoubtedly one of England's star players, has only played in one of their five World Cup qualifying matches thus far, that being the 1-0 away victory against Andorra in June. He has been out of action since mid-July, having undergone surgery on a shoulder injury that had been plaguing him since his first few months at Real Madrid."
"Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has named his matchday squad for their Champions League opener against Marseille on Tuesday, and included is Bellingham. The 22-year-old has received the medical green light to make his return to action for the La Liga giants, meaning that he could be involved at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite this, it is unlikely that Bellingham will be able to start matches for the next few weeks."
England have made a flawless start to 2026 World Cup qualifying. Jude Bellingham has played in only one of five qualifiers, the 1-0 win at Andorra in June, before undergoing shoulder surgery in mid-July. The surgery addressed a persistent injury that began during his early months at Real Madrid. Initial recovery was expected to take three months, implying an October return, but Bellingham has recovered ahead of schedule. Real Madrid named him in the matchday squad for their Champions League opener against Marseille after receiving medical clearance. He is unlikely to start immediately, and Real Madrid may protect him; selection for England's November qualifiers looks likely.
