Overview
- Real Madrid said Ferland Mendy has a tendon injury in his right thigh muscle, with Spanish outlets reporting he is likely to need surgery and face a months‑long layoff that would rule out the rest of the club season.
- Ouest‑France reports that a long absence would also keep Mendy out of the 2026 World Cup if France planned to select him, highlighting the national‑team stakes tied to the club’s medical call.
- The club confirmed Dani Carvajal has a fissure in the small toe of his right foot, with estimates around two weeks out and Spanish reports suggesting his season could be over and his expiring deal will not be renewed.
- Kylian Mbappé is recovering from a left hamstring tendon injury, with Le Parisien indicating a mid‑May return, as fans, media and some teammates criticize his recent travel during rehab and coach Álvaro Arbeloa says medical staff set attendance plans.
- Foot Mercato counts this as the team’s 57th injury of the season, draining defensive depth and feeding tension that some players counter with private support, as Eduardo Camavinga described a consoling hug from Mbappé.
