Injury Concerns for Ferland Mendy
“We don’t know yet what it is, but it doesn’t look good,” stated Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa regarding Ferland Mendy’s recent injury. This comment comes after Mendy was substituted at halftime during a Champions League match against Manchester City on March 11, 2026.
Mendy has faced a challenging season, having been sidelined for most of it due to a muscle injury sustained in November. Despite returning to play all 90 minutes in a league match against Celta Vigo just days prior, his latest setback raises questions about his fitness.
In the match against Manchester City, Real Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 victory, with Federico Valverde scoring a hat-trick. However, the joy of the win was overshadowed by concerns for Mendy’s health.
Alvaro Arbeloa elaborated on the situation, saying, “I subbed off Mendy because he was carrying a knock and didn’t look good.” He added, “It’s a shame about his injury,” highlighting the disappointment surrounding the player’s ongoing fitness struggles.
This season, Mendy has made only five appearances for Real Madrid due to various fitness issues, raising concerns about his future with the club. Despite having a contract that runs until the summer of 2028, uncertainties linger regarding his ability to contribute consistently.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact nature and severity of Mendy’s injury, and the timeline for his recovery is unclear. As Real Madrid prepares for upcoming matches, the team will be closely monitoring Mendy’s condition.
