The defender missed Saturday?s training session and while he could make the squad list for the game, his presence in the lineup is ?questionable?. A question mark hangs over Real Madrid?s defense as key left-back Ferland Mendy missed Saturday?s training session with leg soreness. Mendy?s status remains unclear for Sunday?s pivotal El Clasico showdown against FC Barcelona.
While Mendy could be included in the squad, manager Carlo Ancelotti may opt for caution and keep him on the bench. In Mendy?s absence, Fran Garcia would likely get the nod at left-back. Eduardo Camavinga could also be deployed there, with Aurelien Tchouameni slotting into the expected defensive midfield role. A definitive decision on Mendy?s availability remains to be seen. With an eight-point lead and only seven games left, a draw would be a favorable outcome for Real Madrid, effectively securing the 2023-24 La Liga title. However, a hungry Barcelona, fresh off a defeat to PSG, will undoubtedly put up a fight, demanding a focused and composed performance from Los Blancos.
