Sin news of Ferland Mendy. The Real Madrid has retrained with Valdebebas. The players appear on the club’s website either on the grass or working in the gym, but there is no trace of the former French player since the squad returned to training last Monday.

Mendy, however, is working inside the facilities as the club reports daily on its official channels. For Zidane, The former Lyon player was a key player practically the entire season, relegating one of the undisputed to the bench all these last years as Marcelo. However, the player was injured in the final stretch of last season. He first suffered an overload, according to the medical report, before the game against the Getafe on April 18. He did not reappear until the decisive second leg against him. Chelsea, May 5 in London.

The player, despite the fact that he came to exercise one day on the grass, went on vacation. However, two months after the Frenchman was injured it still does not appear on the lawn.

However, it is true that this type of injury can cause a lot of war in footballers and is very difficult to recover, according to doctors consulted by MARCA.
