Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
October 2025
Jude Bellingham asked Gareth Southgate to omit him from England’s October internationals to prioritize full recovery after a shoulder surgery. Despite returning early for Madrid games, he admitted he isn’t 100% fit and opted for caution.
Marca reports Bellingham will stay in Madrid for a “mini pre-season” under Alonso during the break. England accepted the request, avoiding risks. He missed September’s camp too, underscoring Madrid’s role in managing his workload carefully.
