Real Madrid are set to receive a timely injury boost after the October international break, with Ferland Mendy returning to partial training this week.
The French left back is yet to feature under new manager Xabi Alonso, having suffered a quadricep tear in Madrid’s Copa del Rey final defeat to Barcelona on April 26. Mendy subsequently underwent surgery and missed the final month of Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure.
Los Blancos were initially hopeful that Mendy would be out of action for three months, but it’s coming up to six months since the Frenchman last took to the field.
While Madrid and Mendy have been forced to be patient, reported that the 30-year-old is closing in on his comeback. Their report states that Mendy’s workload on the training field will gradually be increased after the October break.
