A Spanish news report stated that Real Madrid has devised a special plan for French star Ferland Mendy, aimed at fully restoring his physical fitness after a long period of absence due to recurring injuries.

The Royal Club's plan is to prepare Mendy to participate in the Spanish Super Cup, starting with the semifinal match scheduled for January 8 against Atlético Madrid, provided that the recovery process proceeds without any setbacks.

The club is handling the player's case with great caution due to his complicated history with injuries and recurring setbacks. Statistics show that Mendy missed 37 out of his last 46 matches—nearly 80%—and has played only 101 minutes over the past 292 days.

Although Ferland Mendy's contract with Real Madrid extends until 2027, his future at the club remains uncertain, as the management is open to considering any potential offers in the coming periods.

Real Madrid's management requires Mendy to fully overcome his physical issues and demonstrate his ability to return to the same technical and physical level that helped the team win two UEFA Champions League titles in order to remain part of the sporting project.
