Ferand Mendy, 30, left defender at Real Madrid, is preparing to return to group workouts after an absence of almost 6 months.
Mendy was injured in the final of the King Cup, lost in front of Barcelona on April 26. It was diagnosed with rupture of the proximal tendon of the right quadriceps, a serious injury, which involves a difficult recovery process.
Mendy will be gradually reintegrated into group workouts. The club's medical team seeks to avoid a possible recidivism and will not force it, especially since the position of left defender is secured after bringing Alvaro Carreras, whose “double” is Fran Garcia.
