💨 Abstract

After dislocating his shoulder in 2023, Jude Bellingham aims to have surgery in the off-season, which will sideline him for 12 weeks, but Real Madrid wants him to play in the upcoming Club World Cup. The expanded Club World Cup, which few fans, players, or clubs initially wanted and is facing sluggish ticket sales, threatens to make players’ workloads even heavier.
