Jude Bellingham says he is looking forward to having shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup, admitting that he is 'fed up' of playing with a brace and that a date has been set for the procedure.
Last month, Real Madrid confirmed they had scheduled surgery for the 21-year-old when the tournament in the United States is over.
Bellingham has struggled with a persistent shoulder problem since 2023 and worn strapping on his shoulder when playing for his club and England.
'I'm fed up with the brace,' said Bellingham, after scoring in Madrid's 3-1 win against Pachuca in Charlotte and earning the Player of the Match award in the process.
'Hopefully we get to the final and I've got surgery a few days after the tournament to get it fixed. I'm really happy about that. It's been a long time coming.
'I've got to the point where the pain isn't so bad. It's more just getting fed up with it, with players tugging on it and it getting re-arranged every time.

'I think I've come to the end of my patience with it. I'm sick of playing in a brace, especially in this heat and it'll be nice to have my old body back.
'I'm at that point where I'm ready to have a free shoulder and a free body.'
Madrid — who drew 1-1 with Al-Hilal in their opening group game at the Club World Cup — will qualify for the last 16 if they beat Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday night.
That game is likely to witness the return of Kylian Mbappe following a brief bout of gastroenteritis.
