Ferland mendy suffers injury during match against Manchester City

Ferland Mendy’s Injury Update

Alvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid’s manager, stated that Mendy’s injury “does not look good” following the Champions League match against Manchester City on March 12, 2026. Mendy was substituted at halftime after suffering a hamstring injury, which has raised significant concerns for the team.

Mendy’s injury comes as a considerable setback for Real Madrid, who are already missing several key players this season. The left-back had only made five appearances at club level due to ongoing fitness issues, making his presence on the pitch even more critical.

Before the injury, Mendy had played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s previous match against Celta Vigo on March 6, 2026, contributing to the team’s 3-0 victory. His performance in that match had been a positive sign, but the subsequent injury against Manchester City has overshadowed that progress.

Fran Garcia replaced Mendy in the second half of the match against Manchester City, stepping in during a crucial moment as the team sought to maintain their competitive edge.

Real Madrid is set to conduct medical tests on Mendy on March 13, 2026, to assess the severity of the injury and determine his availability for the upcoming second leg against Manchester City. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of the injury and the expected recovery time.

The situation surrounding Mendy’s fitness will be closely monitored, as his absence could significantly impact Real Madrid’s strategy moving forward in both domestic and European competitions.
