Mendy Back at Madrid, Eyes Bayern Clash

Ferland Mendy has resumed normal training at Real Madrid City, positioning himself as a key defensive asset for the upcoming quarter‑final second leg against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid’s defensive pillar Ferland Mendy has returned to full training, matching the pace of his teammates and bolstering the squad’s solidity for the crucial Allianz Arena clash. However, manager Álvaro Arbeloa faces a decision: give the French defender minutes in the imminent league match against Girona to regain match sharpness or preserve him for the European showdown. The outcome of tomorrow’s training session will determine the squad list, but Madrid’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their "wall" is back for the big night.
