Ferland Mendy Returns to Real Madrid Training Ahead of Girona and Bayern Munich Clashes

Ferland Mendy has rejoined Real Madrid's group training session, which took place this Wednesday morning at Valdebebas, in preparation for his return to official competitions.

The French defender might be included in the squad for Friday's La Liga match against Girona, potentially getting some minutes before the crucial European fixture.

The coaching staff aims for Mendy to reach optimal physical readiness before the Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.

The club is keen to ensure all its key players are at their best technical levels to face the significant challenges anticipated in the continental competition.

In terms of tactical preparations, the team has also welcomed back Éder Militão and Jude Bellingham, paving the way for their return to the starting lineup. The defense might see tactical changes to counter the threat of Michael Olise, who impressed in the previous Bernabéu encounter, potentially leading to two adjustments in the backline compared to the first leg to ensure the required solidity.
