JUDE BELLINGHAM's sun-soaked holiday has given fans new images of his nasty shoulder scar.
The Real Madrid midfielder has missed the start of the LaLiga season after undergoing the surgery in July.
The 22-year-old has endured recurring shoulder troubles since dislocating the joint in a fall he sustained against Rayo Vallecano in November 2023.
He had put off going under the knife last season and for England's Euro 2024 campaign, but elected to have the procedure done after months of having to play with his shoulder strapped up to avoid further damage.
He shared a video of himself during his rehabilitation in early August, featuring his new lean physique and grisly scar on his left shoulder.
His recovery has also ruled him out of playing for England during this international break.
He is expected to return in October, giving him plenty of free time to spend in the meantime.
And spend it he has, whisking girlfriend Ashlyn Castro away to spend time lounging on a £1million yacht.
The couple were seen enjoying the sun and each other's company as they relaxed off the coast of Sardinia in Italy.
Bellingham's topless outfit in shorts and a bucket hat gave a view of his recovering arm.
Castro was clearly unaffected by the change in appearances, as the two kissed and cuddled on the front of the yacht.
The pair went public in January but have stayed largely out of the limelight since.
Castro, 27, is an American model with over 600,000 Instagram followers.
She was previously rumoured to be involved with Creed actor Michael B Jordan and basketball player LaMelo Ball.
