Ferland Mendy is not coping. Affected since April 26 and a major rupture in his quadriceps, the left side of Real Madrid had never played a single minute under the orders of Xabi Alonso. Finally returning to Real Madrid’s collective training last October, the French international was able to rejoin the Merengue group and was even directly started during the victory on the Olympiacos pitch in the Champions League last week.
Good news for the former OL defender, back after a seven-month absence due to the injury sustained in the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona last season. But it was short-lived, since Real Madrid confirmed in a medical report that the Frenchman was injured again only six days after his return to the field. A serious blow for him, who will have to go back to the infirmary for a while.
Ferland Mendy out until 2026.
“Following the examinations carried out today by the Real Madrid medical services on our player Ferland Mendy, a muscular lesion of the biceps femoris of the right leg was diagnosed. His recovery will be closely monitored.indicates Real Madrid in its press release. And Spanish radio Cope explains that Ferland Mendy will be unavailable for approximately three weeks. Therefore and due to the calendar, everything indicates that he will not play again until next year, in 2026.
A serious blow of fate for the 30-year-old player who hoped to establish himself in the Madrid competition. Despite rumors of leaving this summer, his intention has always been to continue in Madrid and fight for his place as explained by us. But this season, Ferland Mendy now has a serious competitor in Alvaro Carreras, who also likes Xabi Alonso a lot. And Fran Garcia is also an understudy not to be overlooked.
