Terrible news for Real Madrid

Seriously injured, a Real Madrid player will not play again this season.

Hard blow for the White House. Freshly returned from injury, Ferland Mendy was the victim of a new physical problem. Released in the 14th minute of play during Real Madrid’s victory at Espanyol Barcelona (0-2) on Sunday in La Liga, the French international carried out examinations on Monday. And the news is not good…

The Madrid club announced via a press release that its 30-year-old left side suffers from “ an injury to the rectus femoris tendon of the right leg “. The Merengue, however, did not give details on the duration of his unavailability.

Package for the World Cup

But according to the Spanish press, Ferland Mendy should be free for at least five months. He should therefore not play again this season and also miss the 2026 World Cup with the Blues. As a reminder, the former Lyonnais was selected by Didier Deschamps for Euro 2024.

Not spared from injuries in recent years, Ferland Mendy has already had surgery on his right quadriceps in April 2025. An injury which had sidelined him for six months.
