This is another hard blow for Ferland Mendy. Already injured for a long time during the season, the French international was back and even impressed during his start against Bayern Munich (4-3), before continuing against Real Bétis (1-1). And while he was once again lined up by Alvaro Arbeloa for the trip to Espanyol, the ex-Lyonnais had to leave his partners in the 14th minute of play and was replaced, grimacing, by Fran Garcia.
“Following the examinations carried out today by the Real Madrid medical service, our player Ferland Mendy was diagnosed with an injury to the tendon of the rectus femoris muscle of his right leg. His condition will be closely monitored.said the Real Madrid press release this Monday. The French full-back will therefore be absent for the remainder of the current season, while the player and the Madrid staff will evaluate the possibility of surgery in the coming days.
According to the Spanish press, going through surgery would be the most likely solution for Ferland Mendy. Especially since he had already suffered the same injury in April 2025 and had been out for almost six months.
