Ferland Mendy Eyed for Starting Role Against Bayern Munich
Real Madrid may see a key defender rejoin their starting lineup for the crucial encounter against Bayern Munich. Ferland Mendy, who has recently recovered from an injury, has been participating in full squad training under Álvaro Arbeloa.
During a press conference on Thursday, the Real Madrid manager indicated that Mendy is expected to feature in some capacity against Girona on Saturday. This appearance could signal his imminent return to a starting position.
According to a report from Diario AS, Mendy is being considered as a potential replacement for Álvaro Carreras in the starting eleven for the away leg against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. This consideration arises after Carreras's difficulties in the previous Champions League fixture. The club hopes Mendy's stronger defensive capabilities can help contain the threats posed by dynamic players.
