Real Madrid has announced that left-back Ferland Mendy has a torn thigh muscle, ruling him out of the Club World Cup this summer. The injury diagnosis follows a bad day for the club, which also saw center-back Antonio Rudiger sidelined after surgery, expected to be out for two months. Mendy could be unavailable for up to three months. Meanwhile, with players like Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal also out, only five defenders remain healthy, complicating coach Carlo Ancelotti's defensive options.
Real Madrid have confirmed left-back Ferland Mendy has torn a thigh muscle which is expected to keep him sidelined for the Club World Cup this summer.
Tuesday was a particularly bruising day for Madrid, who saw confirmation that centre-back Antonio Rudiger's domestic campaign is over after undergoing surgery.
His minutes will be given to Fran Garcia, who is the only natural alternative in the squad.
As it stands, Madrid have just five healthy defenders.
