However, it is still unknown if he will see that spot immediately in such a critical match, with Fran Garcia a possibility to remain at left-back.

Not selected Mendy (hamstring) wasn't called up for Tuesday's trip to Arsenal.

However, he is set to still miss at least Saturday's match against Valencia, hoping to make his return when the club resumes UCL play against Arsenal on April 8. This would be a huge boost for the squad, as he is their starting left-back, with Fran Garcia serving in his spot while absent.

Remains out Mendy (hamstring) is not in the squad for Saturday's game against Leganes.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Assist drought over in UCL Mendy assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Mendy entered March having logged no assists in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid's 2024-25 team. Now, his drought in both is no longer the case. Considering his current and previous seasons, Mendy suddenly being an assist machine is not expected to be the case. But with Mendy's offensive form arguably at its all-time high, it is understandable to ride the momentum of his recent success. Form notwithstanding, a healthy Mendy will remain Real's primary left-back in the Champions League.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first assist of season Mendy assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Betis.

Impact Mendy is back for Sunday's match despite original reports not expecting a return until January, as he recovered from his strain. He is typically a regular starter at left-back when fit, with a solid chance of reclaiming that spot immediately. However, they may choose to be cautious, giving Fran Garcia the start and introducing Mendy to the match later on to test his legs.

Impact Mendy is set for a little time on the sidelines, with the defender having picked up a muscle issue following Saturday's match. This will force a change, as he has started in 14 of his 16 appearances this campaign. That said, Fran Garcia will likely take his spot at left-back until he is fit again, possibly not returning until January.
