Mendy Faces Year-Long Layoff

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy is facing a potential year-long absence after suffering a serious tear in his rectus femoris tendon with bone separation.

The 30-year-old French defender will require surgery to repair the damage, with his camp already considering retirement if rehabilitation doesn't progress favorably.

The injury is a significant blow to Real Madrid, who will lose their defensive mainstay for the entirety of next season as Mendy faces the toughest challenge of his career. biznow.biz
