Ferland Mendy Undergoes Surgery for Thigh Injury
Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy has recently undergone surgery to address a recurring injury to his right thigh, as confirmed by medical sources associated with the club. The surgical procedure took place in Lyon, and according to medical reports, it was successful.
Recovery Timeline and Concerns
The expectations for Mendy’s recovery suggest that he could be back on the pitch within three to four months. However, there were initial concerns that the 30-year-old French player might face an absence of up to a year due to the seriousness of his condition, which had resurfaced during a LaLiga match on May 3.
A Season Hampered by Injuries
This latest setback marks Mendy’s fifth injury this season, adding to a troubling trend as he grapples with fitness issues. The former player of Le Havre and Lyon, who developed through PSG’s youth academy from 2004 to 2012, has struggled to maintain consistent participation in matches due to these injuries.
International Career
Since 2018, Mendy has earned 10 caps for the French national team, representing his country until 2024. His recent medical issues not only threaten his club commitments at Real Madrid but also cast uncertainty over his future international appearances.
