Jude Bellingham has faced a significant challenge over the past year. Many felt his performances for Real Madrid dipped as months went by, largely due to the shoulder injury that troubled him for so long. The good news is that the English midfielder has fully recovered after undergoing surgery this summer and is gradually returning to peak form.

Bellingham opened up about the difficult period he endured during his recovery process. “Time passed quickly, but there were many long days alone, working hard, and honestly, it was quite boring. I came back earlier than people expected. I never believed it would take three or four months. I always trusted I would return sooner.”

He also explained how the final phase of his recovery unfolded. “Once I rejoined the team and started physical contact again, the last few weeks flew by. On the pitch, I feel good and confident,” he said. “I had to do gym sessions on a mat, learning how to fall and roll again, making sure I didn’t place my shoulder in positions where it could dislocate. The chances are less than one percent, but the key was to feel no pain. It was a bit boring. It’s basically like learning how to fall again as if you were a child.”

Bellingham expressed gratitude toward Real Madrid fans and his teammates. “It means so much to hear people say they miss you, that your teammates miss playing with you, that the coaching staff misses working with you, even that the fans watching from the stands applaud when they see you on the big screen. It’s emotional knowing so many people support you.” He concluded with a reflection. “It’s easy to fall into negativity when you’re injured, especially when you can’t show what you do. That support reminded me how loved I am in Madrid, and in the end, that’s the only thing that matters.”
