Western media: Mendy has been injured for 165 days, and Real Madrid intends to find a way out for him in view of his condition

Recently, Spanish media grada3 talked about the future of Real Madrid left-back Mendy. They said that the player's injury has caused him to miss 165 days. In view of his situation, the club intends to find a new way out for him.

Real Madrid left-back Mendy has been sidelined for nearly six months, 165 days to be exact, since suffering an injury during the Copa del Rey final at the Olympic Stadium in Seville on April 26. At present, he still has no specific return date and the progress of his recovery has not yet been announced, which makes the club leaders of Valdebebas very worried. Mendy has not yet been able to play under new coach Alonso, and there are two competitors in his position, Carreras and Fran Garcia.

Mendy suffered a muscle injury in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid on March 12, but he underwent arduous rehabilitation training in order to catch up with the Copa del Rey final. Although he was only absent for a month and a half, Ancelotti took the risk of letting him start, but unfortunately, he was injured again after only 10 minutes of the game, and was eventually diagnosed with a rupture of the proximal rectus tendon of the anterior rectus of his right quadriceps femoris.

Since then, Mendy has missed a lot of games. Last season, he only participated in a total of 31 games, with a total of approximately 2,245 minutes of playing time. Although he is Ancelotti's favorite, the club still chooses to act cautiously and not rush to give a specific return date, because Mendy has always been prone to injury and is currently unable to participate in team training. Since the start of this season, Mendy has been training alone in Valdebebas.

Since joining Real Madrid in 2019, Mendy has missed 94 games due to injury, including club and French national team games. His last appearance for the French team was against Canada on June 9, 2024. Since then, he has never been called up by Deschamps, and in the French team, the left back position has been firmly occupied by Theo.

In view of this situation, Mendy has attracted great attention in Valdebebas. He still has a long way to go before he fully recovers, and even if he returns, he will need to gradually adapt to the team's rhythm. Although the contract does not expire until June 2027, the club tried to find a way out for him this summer. However, Mendy himself prefers to stay at Real Madrid and continue to play for Real Madrid, so he has no intention of giving up, although the future is full of challenges.
