Jude Bellingham Shocks! Speedy Recovery & Girlfriend's Sweet Support!

Real Madrid fans are buzzing! Jude Bellingham has made a surprisingly early return from shoulder surgery, and his girlfriend, Ashlyn Castro, celebrated with a custom cropped Real Madrid jersey at the Santiago Bernabeu. The England international midfielder's quick recovery from a long-standing shoulder problem is a huge boost for the team.

Bellingham's Heartfelt Message After Injury Return

Following his first appearance of the 2025-26 season, Bellingham took to social media to express his gratitude. "Missed this and all of you so much," he wrote, thanking Madridistas for their unwavering support during his recovery. "Truly humbled by the love you gave me in the stadium today and the support from everyone throughout my recovery, it means the world to me." He finished with a resounding, "Now for more. Hala Madrid!"

Bellingham's return came in Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Espanyol. He entered the game in the 89th minute to a standing ovation. Even in his brief cameo, Bellingham showed glimpses of his brilliance, taking 10 touches and completing six passes, including a near-assist.

A Much-Needed Boost for Real Madrid

Bellingham had been sidelined since the end of the FIFA Club World Cup, finally undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder. Initially, he was expected to be out until October, but his rapid recovery allowed him to join the squad for Real Madrid’s Champions League opener. While he wasn't risked against Marseille, he made his season debut four days later, alongside Eduardo Camavinga.

The return of Bellingham and Camavinga is a significant advantage for Real Madrid, especially with the Madrid derby just around the corner. Can Bellingham continue his impressive form and lead Real Madrid to victory? Fans are eagerly anticipating his next performance.
