Jude Bellingham out for 12 weeks after shoulder surgery
REAL Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing successful surgery for a recurring shoulder injury. The club confirmed the procedure but did not specify a recovery timeline, though Spanish media reports suggest he could miss up to 12 weeks. Bellingham has been managing discomfort since dislocating his shoulder in a La Liga match in November 2023. Despite playing with a protective brace, the 22-year-old opted for surgery after delaying the procedure to participate in the Club World Cup. The England international will now begin rehabilitation, ruling him out of key fixtures. He is expected to miss the La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid in late September, as well as Real Madrid's opening two Champions League group-stage matches. His return is anticipated in time for the season's first El Clasico against Barcelona in late October. Bellingham expressed frustration with the injury during the Club World Cup, stating, 'I've got to the point where... I'm fed up with the brace, and having to tug on it and having (other) players tug on it, and it rearranging all the time.' Additionally, he will be unavailable for England's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia on September 6 and 9. - AFP

Real Madrid confirm Lucas Vazquez departure after 23 trophies
REAL Madrid confirmed the departure of long-serving defender Lucas Vazquez after his contract expired. The club extended his deal briefly to include the Club World Cup in the United States, where he made his final appearances. Vazquez, 34, spent nearly his entire career at Real Madrid, except for a loan spell at Espanyol in the 2014-15 season. Over his tenure, he played 402 matches and won 23 trophies, including five Champions League titles and four La Liga triumphs. 'Vazquez exemplarily represents the values of Real Madrid, which has made him one of the most beloved players by our fans,' said club president Florentino Perez. '(He) symbolises the hard work, perseverance, humility, and winning spirit essential to succeed in this shirt.' Originally a winger, Vazquez adapted to a defensive role in later years, becoming a reliable squad player. In an emotional farewell video, he said, 'I leave Real Madrid but Real Madrid will never leave me.' - AFP

Real Madrid survive Dortmund scare to reach Club World Cup semis
Real Madrid edged past Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a dramatic Club World Cup quarter-final on Saturday to set up a last-four clash with Paris St Germain. The Spanish giants stamped their authority on the match early at the MetLife Stadium, dominating possession and opening a two-goal lead thanks to strikes by Gonzalo and Fran Garcia in the 10th and 20th minutes. Gonzalo, the 21-year-old forward continuing his breakout tournament, opened the scoring with a close-range volley from Arda Guler's cross. Ten minutes later, Garcia doubled Real's lead, arriving at the far post to turn in Trent Alexander-Arnold's low delivery after an incisive move down the right. Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. squandered chances to extend Real's lead before halftime, while Aurelien Tchouameni came closest in the second half, rattling the crossbar with a curling effort from the edge of the box. Despite the reduced intensity of play in New Jersey's scorching heat, Real comfortably saw out the match, leaving Dortmund unable to mount a comeback until the game exploded into life in 10 minutes of mayhem in added time. Substitute Maximilian Beier pounced on a rebound in the 93rd minute to pull one back for Dortmund, but a minute later Kylian Mbappe restored Real's two-goal cushion with a stunning volley. Dortmund refused to back down, however, and Serhou Guirassy's pace saw him break through Real's defence only to be pulled down in the box by Dean Huijsen. The defender was shown a straight red card, ruling him out of the semi-final, and Guirassy coolly converted the resulting spot-kick to reduce the deficit to 3-2. Dortmund came within inches of forcing extra time when in the ninth minute of added time Thibaut Courtois produced a sensational save to deny Marcel Sabitzer's powerful strike. "We were doing really well and the match looked under control but then in the last 10 minutes things got crazy," Real manager Xabi Alonso told DAZN. "We have lost a little bit our focus and intensity when we didn't have the ball and luckily nothing else happened. But overall we have had good 80 minutes and the last 10 minutes to improve." Real Madrid now turn their attention to PSG, who defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 to book their place in the semi-finals. The winners of that clash will face Fluminense or Chelsea, who meet on Tuesday, in the final.
