Out for four to five months Mendy (quadriceps) will undergo surgery in France on Monday for the rectus femoris tendon injury in his right leg, ruling him out for four to five months, according to Abraham P. R...

Impact Mendy's season is over after what has been a nightmare campaign on the fitness front, having now suffered five separate injuries this term. The four to five month recovery timeline rules him out of the start of the 2026/27 season as well, making this a deeply concerning situation for both player and Real Madrid heading into the summer. Alvaro Carreras and Fran Garcia are expected to continue sharing the left-back role until Mendy is set to return. Mendy ends the season with six interceptions and five clearances in eight appearances (six starts) across call competitions.

Impact Mendy's latest injury is another devastating blow in what has been a nightmare season on the fitness front, having now suffered five injuries this campaign after only recently returning from a hamstring problem. The diagnosis of a rectus femoris tendon injury is a serious concern that is likely to bring his season to a premature end with just four matches played since his last return. Fran Garcia stepped in at left-back against Espanyol and is expected to continue in that role, with Alvaro Carreras also available as an option should coach Alvaro Arbeloa look to rotate. No return timeline has been established, with the medical staff set to monitor his progress closely in the coming days.

Set for minutes against Girona Mendy (hamstring) is set to feature in Friday's clash against Girona, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Marca. "Mendy will have minutes."

Impact Mendy has missed five consecutive matches with a hamstring injury, but coach Arbeloa's direct confirmation puts his return beyond doubt for Friday. The French left-back figures to ease back in off the bench rather than regaining a starting role immediately, with Alvaro Carreras having held down the left flank in his absence. Getting Mendy back in the mix is a welcome depth boost for Real Madrid heading into the final stretch of a season that still has plenty of big fixtures on the horizon.

Expected back for Bayern return leg Mendy (hamstring) was back in team training in recent days and is targeting availability for the Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Bayern Munich on April 15, accordi...

Impact Mendy has been sidelined for four consecutive matches after the hamstring flared up following two straight starts, but the positive trajectory in his recovery is an encouraging sign for Real Madrid heading into the business end of the season. The French left-back's return would give coach Alvaro Arbeloa another option on the left flank, though with Alvaro Carreras having held down the spot in his absence, Mendy figures to slot back into a backup role rather than immediately regaining the starting spot.

Back in training Mendy (hamstring) was spotted training on the pitch Thursday during the international break, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Mendy had just strung together two straight starts before the hamstring flared up again, sidelining him for three consecutive matches, a frustrating setback for the left-back who has spent much of his career battling through similar issues. Getting back on the grass during the break is an encouraging sign, and if he continues to progress without any restrictions, he has a real shot at being back in the mix for the April. 4. clash against Mallorca. Real Madrid will be cautious with him given his injury history, but the timeline is there for a return if everything goes smoothly. That said, with Alvaro Carreras fully fit, Mendy will likely hold a back-up role at best for the Merengues.

Dealing with hamstring strain Mendy suffered a Grade 1 right hamstring injury in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Manchester City and could miss up to a week, according to Melchor Ruiz of Cadena COPE.

Impact Mendy departed the win over City at halftime, and further tests confirmed he's dealing with a hamstring problem. The injury is minor, though, so he won't be an option to face Elche but might have a chance to play in the return leg against Manchester City next Tuesday.

Impact Mendy will be evaluated over the next few days to determine the extent of the issue that forced him off at halftime during Wednesday's Champions League win over Manchester City. The French defender had just logged back-to-back starts for the first time in a year with the Merengues and may still be managing some muscular discomfort. If Mendy ends up needing more time on the sidelines, Fran Garcia looks like the next man up, especially with Alvaro Carreras (calf) also ruled out of the picture.

Returns as substitute Saturday Mendy (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad.

Impact Mendy is back on the bench for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad after trending in the right direction for several weeks. The defender showed sharpness in training and returns to the squad, though his presence is not expected to impact the starting XI with Alvaro Carreras firmly established at left-back.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Looking sharp in training Mendy (undisclosed) trained with the team Friday and looked sharp, putting himself in the mix as a potential option for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad, the club posted.

Impact Mendy has battled through recurring injury setbacks over the past few seasons, but he finally looks on the verge of a comeback after trending in the right direction for weeks. The Frenchman showed real sharpness in Friday's training session and could be in the squad for Saturday's showdown against Real Sociedad. That said, his return should not shake up the starting XI, as Alvaro Carreras appears firmly locked in as the Merengues' first-choice option at left-back.

Sill out Mendy (undisclosed) is not yet an option for the club.

Impact Mendy is out a sixth straight game Sunday as he recovers from an undisclosed injury, still not an option despite an expected return. He still has only made two appearances all season due to an injury, a rough campaign for the defender.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available against Valencia Mendy (undisclosed) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Valencia after training in full this week, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Mendy returned to partial training earlier in the week and stepped back into full team session Saturday, putting him on the radar for Sunday's matchup against Valencia. That said, given his ongoing injury history over the past few seasons, he's likely to be brought along cautiously, especially with Alvaro Carreras holding his own in that role recently.

Spotted in team training Mendy (undisclosed) was spotted in team training on Saturday, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Mendy has been struggling with injuries for several seasons now but looks ready to make an additional return to the match squad, as he was spotted training with the team on Saturday. That said, given his numerous setbacks, the staff might want to ease him back into the mix to avoid any new ones, as his role will still have to be determined under new coach Alvaro Arbeloa.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out again Mendy (undisclosed) is ruled out again due to injury, according to the club.

Impact Mendy can't remain fit since the middle from last season with Real Madrid and will be sidelined again for some time to recover. It is yet unknown if this is a new issue or a setback from his previous problems. Newcomer Alvaro Carreras is expected to remain the start at left-back until Mendy finds full fitness hopefully one day.
