Real Madrid Defender Ferland Mendy Set for Surgery After Latest Setback

Real Madrid have been dealt another major injury concern, with defender Ferland Mendy expected to undergo surgery once again after picking up a fresh muscle injury.

According to MARCA, the left-back suffered the setback during Real Madrid’s recent clash with RCD Espanyol. The injury adds to what has already been a frustrating and stop-start season for the French international.

Mendy has struggled with multiple fitness issues throughout the campaign, limiting him to only a handful of appearances. This latest problem is understood to involve a serious tendon complication, which could sideline him for an extended period.

While the club has yet to confirm an exact recovery timeline, early reports suggest the 30-year-old could be out for as long as five months.
