Real Madrid left-back injured again after ’forcing’ himself several times
Marcelo’s decline over the past two years has been incredibly steep. The Brazilian headlined an era for the Madrid based side, and it seemed impossible to fathom how the void left by his departure could be filled.
However, Ferland Mendy has proven to be more than capable of taking over duties at left-back. The French international has been solid in defence whilst simultaneously opening new doors for his team in the final third.
The effect of Mendy’s absence was seen in El Clasico. On the night, Real Madrid suffered against Ousmane Dembele on the left flank, giving the Blaugranas the upper hand.
Though Mendy has been consistent on the field, his fitness has been worrying. The fullback has been having groin discomforts since January and has still not recovered completely.
According to Sergio Quirante, his discomfort relapsed during Madrid’s clash against Celta Vigo. Yet, Mendy pushed himself through it for the subsequent game against Chelsea. As a result, he was forced to miss the team’s trip to Getafe.
Despite not being completely fit, he once again played through the pain during the second leg against Chelsea earlier this week. Now, he is injured again and risks missing the upcoming clash against Sevilla.
Mendy had a poor outing on Tuesday against the London based side. Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek overwhelmed the 26-year-old before he was eventually replaced in the second half.
The Frenchman has started 18 La Liga games for Real Madrid this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. He has created two big chances and averages one key pass per game.

Just in: Real Madrid reach six-year renewal agreement until 2032 with young playmaker – Romano
In a major update, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid and Arda Guler have reached an agreement over a contract renewal for the young playmaker.
This development comes only a little after reports emerged stating that Los Blancos had begun work on extending the Turkish international’s contract.
Six-year extension for Guler
As per the update from Romano, Guler and Real Madrid have agreed on terms over a new six-year contract which will see the 21-year-old starlet commit to the club until the summer of 2032.
The former Fenerbahce had no hesitation in saying yes, having steadily grown into an important player at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid signed Guler from Fenebahce back in the summer of 2023, beating arch-rivals FC Barcelona to his signing.
Having arrived as a teenager, the Turkish starlet had to bide his time to gain prominence in the team despite showing his immense potential and quality regularly.
Now, Guler is seen as one of Real Madrid’s most important cogs under Jose Mourinho, cementing his place in the team on the right flank, even ahead of the club’s €140 million summer signing Yan Diomande.
So far this term, Guler has played four matches in all competitions, scoring and assisting one goal apiece for the Merengues.
He missed this week’s UEFA Champions League opener against Inter Milan due to a suspension.
Securing the future
Guler’s current contract with Real Madrid stood to run until 2029, but with his growing stature within the team, the club have moved quickly to secure his long-term future.
The 21-year-old is now expected to extend his stay at the Bernabeu until 2032, while also seeing a substantial increase in his salary at the club.
Following the renewal of Vinicius Jr. during the summer, Real Madrid continue to consolidate their squad, with Guler’s extension now all but completed.
Thibaut Courtois is also in line for a new deal, with a meeting set for the coming weeks, while the Merengues are also expected to begin talks over an extension for key midfielder Jude Bellingham.
