Ferland Mendy’s Injury Update
Alvaro Arbeloa stated, “Mendy’s injury ‘does not look good'” following Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Manchester City on March 12, 2026. The left-back was substituted at halftime due to a hamstring injury, raising concerns about his fitness.
Mendy’s injury is particularly troubling for Real Madrid, who are already missing several key players this season. The club has confirmed that medical tests will be conducted on Mendy on March 13, 2026, to assess the extent of the injury.
Prior to this match, Mendy had played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s previous victory over Celta Vigo on March 6, 2026. However, this season has been challenging for him, as he has only made five appearances due to ongoing fitness issues.
In the match against Manchester City, Fran Garcia replaced Mendy in the second half. This substitution was made as Arbeloa noted, “I subbed off Mendy because he was carrying a knock and didn’t look good.” The team’s depth will be tested as they navigate this injury.
Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory over Manchester City, but the joy of the win is overshadowed by concerns for Mendy’s health. The club will need to evaluate his condition closely to determine his availability for the second leg against Manchester City.
As the team prepares for the upcoming matches, the absence of Mendy could impact their defensive strategies. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the severity of his injury, but the situation is being monitored closely.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching the developments surrounding Mendy’s injury, as it could influence Real Madrid’s performance in the ongoing Champions League campaign.
