Impact Mendes has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season, with his last appearance coming April 30, 2023, versus FC Lorient. Given his extended layoff, the defender almost certainly will have to get some minutes off the bench before being in contention for a spot in the starting XI. If he doesn't make the bench against Real Sociedad on Wednesday, Mendes could rejoin the squad versus Nantes on Saturday.
