Jude Bellingham goes incognito! Real Madrid star looks unrecognisable on trip to London after shoulder surgery

Bellingham has been sidelined for several months after undergoing surgery to correct a troublesome shoulder injury. The Real Madrid superstar had the operation in London and has now been spotted walking the city's streets with his arm in a sling and dressing seemingly in incognito mode. Bellingham uploaded a photo of himself in the capital on Instagram.

Bellingham is not expected to return to action until October, meaning Xabi Alonso's side will have to cope without one of their most important players in the opening weeks of the 2025-26 season. The 22-year-old will also be sidelined for England's World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Andorra in September but could potentially be back in time for a friendly with Wales at the start of October.

Bellingham has made exactly 100 appearances for Real Madrid since his blockbuster transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. He has scored 38 goals, bagged 28 assists and won La Liga, Champions League and Super Cup titles during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham will enjoy some time off in the summer before beginning rehabilitation work back at Real Madrid. Los Blancos open up their new La Liga campaign against Osasuna on August 19 but will have to cope without Bellingham in the early weeks of the campaign.
