Long-term Real Madrid absentee ‘close to being medically cleared’

Long-time Real Madrid absentee Ferland Mendy is nearing a return to competitive action, according to Diario AS. The French stopper, who has been absent from the pitch for an extended period, is reportedly making significant progress towards medical clearance. Mendy suffered a tendon injury in the rectus femoris of his right leg during a La Liga match against Espanyol in May.

Following the injury, he underwent surgery but has yet to resume group activities at Real Madrid's training facility, Valdebebas. However, recent reports suggest that the 31-year-old is close to being medically cleared and is making great strides in regaining match sharpness. Although he will need time to fully regain his form, Mendy is optimistic about returning to competitive duties soon.
