Real MadridSurgery successful
Mendy (hip) has undergone successful surgery, according to his club.
Analysis: Mendy has completed his surgery after it was announced last week, with the operation being successful. He will now start his recovery process, although it will be a long and grueling process after an injury-filled season, set for around five to six months of recovery. That leaves the full-back likely to return following the start of the season, hoping he can still find a role in the team once fit.
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. Romero of El Mundo.
Analysis: 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.
Quadriceps tendon injury
Mendy (quadriceps) was diagnosed with an injury to the tendon of the rectus femoris in his right leg and will be monitored closely as his recovery progresses, according to the club.
Analysis: 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.
Picks up apparent hip issue
Mendy suffered a new injury which forced him to leave Sunday's win over Espanyol after feeling something in the right hip, Miguel Angel Lara of Marca reports.
Analysis: Mendy is at risk of being ruled out again with only four matches played (three starts) since his recovery from a hamstring problem. In case he's dealing with a serious injury, the left-back will be unlikely to play again in the 2025/26 campaign. Fran Garcia took his place against Espanyol, but Alvaro Carreras was also on the bench and could regain a starting role in upcoming contests if the Frenchman's spot is left vacant.
