Withdrawn due to injury during the defeat against Barça last Saturday, Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy is affected in his right hamstring, the club announced. The length of his unavailability is not yet known.
Beaten by FC Barcelona (3-0) in the friendly clasico in the United States last Saturday, Real Madrid also lost their defender Ferland Mendy to injury. This Monday evening, the club provided an update on the player. “After tests carried out today, our player Ferland Mendy has been diagnosed with a muscular injury in his right hamstring. Evolution pending,” the Merengue club stated simply in its publication on its official website.
Currently, the duration of the unavailability of the French international (9 caps) is not yet known. The Spanish press is already talking about a probable absence of two weeks. A prediction that would allow the former Olympique Lyonnais player to be ready for the grand return of La Liga and thus occupy his place in the team.
As a reminder, Ferland Mendy faced several physical problems last season. The French international missed a good part of his club’s matches, leading his coach Carlo Ancelotti to reposition the young prodigy Eduardo Camavinga on the left flank of the Madrid defense. The repeated physical problems are beginning to tire the Real management, which is seriously considering selling their player.
