The England international was originally expected to undergo surgery after the European Championship with the Three Lions, as was fellow Madrid player Brahim Diaz, who is also struggling with a shoulder issue, but reports that neither player will go under the knife this summer.

Bellingham enjoyed a magnificent debut season at Real Madrid, scoring 19 goals and setting up a further six as Carlo Ancelotti's side won La Liga. He also netted four and assisted five times as they claimed another Champions League crown.

Belingham has maintained that awesome form with England at Euro 2024, having scored the decisive goal in their 1-0 win against Serbia before firing in the last-minute equaliser to send them on their way to a 2-1 win against Slovakia in the last 16. He will hope to play a decisive role again when they meet Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
