In a blow to both club and country, Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos have both suffered significant injuries. Mendy has been ruled out of the French national team due to a tibia injury, while Ceballos faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
Ferland Mendy’s Tibia Injury
Ferland Mendy has sustained an injury to his right tibia, which has forced him to withdraw from the French national team squad. The injury is a setback for the defender, who was looking to make an impact in the upcoming international fixtures. Lucas Digne has been called up to replace Mendy in the squad, as confirmed by the French Football Federation.
Dani Ceballos Out for 6 to 8 Weeks
Real Madrid has also confirmed that midfielder Dani Ceballos will be out of action for the next 6 to 8 weeks due to an ankle injury. Ceballos, who has been an important part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, will now miss a crucial part of the season, including key La Liga and Champions League fixtures.
Impact on Real Madrid
These injuries come at a challenging time for Real Madrid, as both Mendy and Ceballos have been key contributors to the team. Mendy’s absence will leave a gap in the defensive lineup, while Ceballos’ injury means the midfield will be without his creativity and energy for an extended period. Ancelotti will need to rely on his squad depth to navigate the upcoming matches.
Tough Times Ahead for Real Madrid
The injuries to Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos are a significant setback for both the players and Real Madrid. As Mendy recovers from his tibia injury and Ceballos from his ankle issue, the team will need to adapt quickly to cope with their absences. The hope is for a speedy recovery for both players, but until then, Real Madrid will need to dig deep to maintain their momentum.
