While the official timeline is yet to be set in stone, especialistas at the club believe that surgery is the most logical path forward for the former Lyon man. Should he go under the knife, the recovery period is estimated to be approximately five months, effectively ruling him out of the summer and the start of the next campaign.
This latest setback marks Mendy's fifth injury of the season, a statistic that highlights the physical toll on the squad. Despite his limited availability, his impact when fit was undeniable; he notably excelled in the Champions League knockout stages.
