Impact Mendy appears to be dealing with some sort of injury or complication, as he is not an option for Friday's match.

With that being said, he will hope only to miss the one game and return to face Bayern Munich on Tuesday, with Fran Garcia most likely taking Mendy's spot while he is out.

Impact Mendy came back from a thigh injury and got straight back into the starting XI. The left-back also got on the scoresheet with what proved to be a crucial goal. Mendy should be the first choice left-back moving forward with his next chance coming during a Jan. 21 clash with Almeria.

Called up for Super Cup Mendy (thigh) was called up for Wednesday's clash with Atleti.

Impact Mendy was called up as he recovers from a thigh injury that has plagued him.

Participates in training Mendy (thigh) returned to training with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Mendy finally returned to training after missing the past month with a thigh injury. The left-back dealt with an injury for three months of last season, and after returning to training on Tuesday, he will hope to avoid that same fate by reaching full fitness soon.

Absence continues Mendy (thigh) was again left out of the squad versus Getafe on Saturday.
