Mendy will not be available for the Club World Cup and his goal will be to recover in time for the pre-season stage, given that while his contract extension hasn’t been announced and made official, several sources indicate that the deal was signed during the winter.

The French defender will have to compete for the starting job next season, given that Madrid could try to upgrade that left-back spot after it was one of the team’s main weaknesses this year.
