MADRID — Injury-plagued Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has suffered a thigh injury, with Spanish media reporting on Monday that he will be sidelined for several months. Mendy is facing up to five months out, a source has told ESPN, after the left-back suffered a muscular injury in his right leg which may require surgery. Left-back Mendy was replaced after just 14 minutes of 2-0 win over Espanyol, which delayed Barcelona winning the La Liga title. The France international will undergo surgery in the coming hours after suffering his 16th injury since joining Madrid from Lyon in 2019. “Following tests carried out today on our player Ferland Mendy… he has been diagnosed with a rectus femoris tendon injury in his right leg,” Madrid said in a statement according to AFP. Mendy made his last France appearance in June 2024 and was unlikely to be in contention for a place in Didier Deschamps’s World Cup squad.
