Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has been sidelined for a long period due to a serious injury sustained in the match against Espanyol. Although initial tests indicated a minor muscle injury, further in-depth medical examinations confirmed the situation is much more severe. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
According to Cadena Cope, the French footballer's tendon has completely detached from the bone. This condition requires surgery and at least a year of rehabilitation. Thus, Mendy may not be able to return to the pitch until the start of the 2027-28 season.
For the defender, who has been struggling with injuries over the past two years, this situation also brings the risk of an early end to his career. The club's medical staff cannot guarantee the player's return to his previous form.
Ferland Mendy, who has played only 448 minutes this season, has suffered five injuries. The Real Madrid management is now facing a difficult choice regarding strengthening the defensive line and planning for the future.
