Real Madrid suffers a massive defensive blow as Ferland Mendy is sidelined for the season. A recurring rectus femoris tendon injury requires immediate surgery, forcing a five-month recovery. This marks his fifth injury this year, limiting him to just nine appearances. With pre-season and the next campaign’s start now in jeopardy, Los Blancos face a major tactical crisis at left-back.
