England midfielder Jude Bellingham is forced to play at Euro 2024, the tournament his team is competing in, due to a shoulder injury.

According to sources, Bellingham has been experiencing shoulder discomfort since November last year, when he injured himself during one of his La Liga matches. It is reported that the player is unable to undergo surgery at the moment, meaning Bellingham will have to watch Euro 2024 with his shoulder not fully healed.

The England national team has qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament, where it will face Switzerland. The match between these two teams will take place this Saturday, July 6, at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf.

The European Championship in Germany takes place from June 14 to July 14. The reigning champion is the Italian national team, who beat England in the final of Euro 2020 (1-1, 3-2 on penalties). The most successful national teams at the Euro are Germany and Spain, who have won the tournament three times each.

Despite his shoulder injury, Bellingham’s determination to play a key role for England at Euro 2024 is commendable. The talented midfielder’s willingness to push through the discomfort demonstrates his commitment to the national team and their quest for European glory. However, the long-term impact of this decision on Bellingham’s fitness and future career will be a concern for both the player and the England coaching staff.
