Amidst a series of scandals at Real Madrid, the club is grappling with other significant issues. According to Spanish media, Ferland Mendy's latest injury is more severe than initially predicted, with the French defender reportedly contemplating an early retirement from professional football.
Mendy sustained the injury during the match against Espanyol a few days ago. Initially, the club announced it was a tendon injury in his right leg, requiring surgery and sidelining him for approximately five months. However, Spanish journalists suggest the injury is far more serious, involving a significant tendon tear and damage to a part of the bone. This could potentially keep him off the pitch for around a year.
The injury is to the same leg that underwent surgery in April 2025, which kept him out of action for six months. Mendy has suffered over 20 injuries since joining Real Madrid in 2019, leading him to miss more than 120 matches.
