If the Madrid club did not give a duration of unavailability, the radio COPE indicates that the England international (36 caps) will be unavailable for a month.

Third injury for Bellingham in Madrid
After suffering a shoulder injury last season, keeping him out for almost three weeks, and then another to his ankle for the same length of time, the Englishman has found himself hampered in his progress for the third time since signing for Real Madrid. This news will force Carlo Ancelotti to review his plans, while the Englishman was his Swiss army knife, capable of scoring and feeding his attackers.
Furthermore, this injury echoes that of Eduardo Camavinga, injured in the knee and out for at least two months. With two big losses in midfield, Ancelotti will have to rack his brains and call upon his sense of imagination, especially since he can no longer count on Toni Kroos, now retired. The Italian is also still without David Alaba, still not recovered from his cruciate ligament rupture. The summer is looking more complicated than expected in Madrid.
