Real Madrid in Crisis

Real Madrid's injury crisis is becoming more complicated, and Álvaro Arbeloa has lost another player who will be unavailable for at least a week: Ferland Mendy, the French fullback who injured his right hamstring and who had played a key role in the Spaniard's team.

Mendy’s Injury

Mendy appears to have sustained an injury during the grueling match against Manchester City, which the Los Merengues won 3-0. ​However, the player was unable to play for more than 45 minutes after suffering a “cramp,” or so Real Madrid initially determined. It was later revealed that the discomfort was actually a muscle injury, which puts his participation in future matches at risk

The Real Madrid injury list

He is not the only injured player on Arbeloa's team; Real Madrid is going through a difficult period in terms of the physical condition of its players. ​This long list of injured players begins with Rodrygo's torn ligament and meniscus, Mbappé's knee sprain, and the prolonged absences of Alaba, Militao, and Bellingham. ​Other players affected include Ceballos, Asensio, and Carreras. ​Now, Ferland Mendy has joined the list. With all these players injured or out of action, Álvaro Arbeloa is facing a challenging situation, especially with the return leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 approaching.
