It was after Sunday's match against Mexican Pachuca that the 21-year-old confirmed that he will be operated on.
I just want to feel free again, he says according to Reuters.
Real Madrid seem to be going ahead from the group play in the club team World Championship, thereafter an intense final awaits.
The midfield star is firmly determined that he does not want to miss the final, and has therefore chosen to wait until the championship is over before he will undergo his shoulder operation.
I have come to a point where the pain itself is not so difficult, but I am tired of playing with a protection. It will be nice to get my old body back again, continues Bellingham.
Thus, the rehabilitation will instead affect the Englishman's league start next season. According to British BBC the midfielder will miss the entire preseason and around six weeks of the next season.
