Real Madrid New Boy Mendy Out For Up to Four Weeks

By Daily Sports on July 26, 2019

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy is expected to be out of action for three to four weeks with a thigh problem, the club has confirmed.

The left-back has been diagnosed with a muscular lesion that will keep him on the sidelines for the opening weeks of the new La Liga campaign.

French international Mendy, who made a big money move to Santiago Bernabeu in June from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon, will likely miss his side’s first game against Celta Vigo.

Coming through the ranks at both Paris Saint-Germain and Le Havre’s youth systems, he made the leap to first-team football with the latter in 2015 before signing with Lyon in 2017 on a five-year deal.

He made over 75 appearances across both of his seasons at the club, with his form in both the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns earning him selection to the division’s Team of the Year.

He has featured in both of Madrid’s International Champions Cup pre-season encounters so far, as a substitute in their defeat to Bayern Munich and starting in their penalty shoot-out victory against Arsenal.

Los Blancos have already been struck by injury issues, with Marco Asensio suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury against the Gunners after scoring to put his side on even terms on the night.

They have however bolstered their ranks alongside Mendy during the off-season, with the Frenchman just one of a number of major signings brought in by Zinedine Zidane. (Goal)
