The midfielder of England, Jude Bellingham, was selected in the Real Madrid team for the opening match of the Champions League against Marseille after repairing a shoulder operation.
Bellingham did not play for Madrid since the club World Cup in the United States, after which he underwent an operation on his left shoulder on July 16.
He took care of the shoulder injury since 2023, but delayed the operation to prevent the time from being missing with Madrid and England.
