Ferland Mendy recovery from injury could be longer than expected, with Real Madrid set to return until October
Mendy has been suffering from a muscle injury since late April, towards the end of the 2024-25 season, and has undergone surgery and is initially expected to take around 3 months to recover, or he may return to the field in time for the start of the new season.
However, Real Madrid เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย could be without Mendy until October. Leaving new manager Xabi Alonso with only Fran Garcia as the only fit left-back option.
Garcia, who started and was on the pitch throughout the 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in their opening FIFA Club World Cup group game, will have a big chance to prove himself to Alonso, with potential left-backs David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga still sidelined.
It means that going into the Club World Cup, Fran Garcia is Xabi Alonso’s only fit choice at the position. Although David Alaba can play there when recovered, as can Eduardo Camavinga. Garcia is included in a group of players that Alonso will take a definitive call on after the Club World Cup. But he will have a golden opportunity to prove himself without competition initially. The original plan was for at least one of Garcia or Mendy to exit this summer. But depending on how both progress in the coming months. Alonso might have three left-backs at his disposal until January.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are expected to sign Spanish left-back Alvaro Carreras from Benfica. After the Club World Cup for a massive €50 million to seriously solve their position in the long term.
