Real Madrid manages injury recoveries for Mendy and Mbappé
Real Madrid is managing the recovery of two key players following recent injuries.
Ferland Mendy is entering the final stages of his recovery after being sidelined since the end of last season. He has begun training with the ball and is expected to reintegrate with the squad soon, though the club intends to manage his minutes carefully to avoid relapse.
Kylian Mbappé is also undergoing rehabilitation following a knee injury sustained while playing for France. The club has diagnosed a ‘hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee’. Real Madrid is prioritizing a cautious approach to ensure he is fully fit for the upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona on October 25, potentially evaluating his progress during Champions League or domestic fixtures in the interim.
