Real Madrid's Endrick out of Club World Cup, Jude Bellingham set for surgery

Real Madrid faces critical injury concerns ahead of their Club World Cup debut in June, with forward Endrick Benzoni sidelined for two months due to a hamstring injury and Jude Bellingham set to undergo shoulder surgery following an ongoing issue. The club is now under new manager Xabi Alonso after Carlo Ancelotti's departure, but both players' latest injuries complicate their preparations. Meanwhile, Bellingham, who missed three weeks earlier this year due to a shoulder dislocation, may still play ahead of the injury-plagued 2025-26 season as Madrid seeks to kick off their tournament and push for a successful LaLiga campaign despite a tough start this season.
