Bellingham has been battling a shoulder injury for most of the season, dating back to a dislocation he suffered against Rayo Vallecano in November 2023. Initially, he had considered surgery last summer but decided to wait due to England's Euros campaign.
The timeline for his recovery will heavily depend on the Club World Cup schedule, which runs from June 14 to July 13. With this in mind, it's possible that Bellingham will not return to the pitch until the fall season.
