Real Madrid has made their defense one of their first orders of priority this summer, with Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold who arrive for an amount of around € 70 million for the club's World Cup. At least another addition is expected, but a new update of the injury can also change their plans for the output door.
According to Marca, left back Ferland Mendy will be out of operation much longer than expected. The Frenchman, who tore his quadriceps muscle at the end of April, was one of the three to quickly undergo surgery in succession. Initially excluded for three months, that would have had him back in full fitness in mid -August before the start of the season. However, they say that Los Blancos will not go back to the 29-year-old until October to go back to full fitness.
It means that Fran Garcia goes into the club in the club, the only fit choice of Xabi Alonso is in the position, although David Alaba can play there when they are recovered, just like Eduardo Camavinga. Garcia is included in a group of players where Alonso will take a final call after the World Championship of Club, but he will have a golden chance to prove himself in the first instance without competition. The original plan was for at least one of Garcia or Mendy to leave this summer, but depending on how both claims will improve in the coming months, Alonso may have three left backs at its disposal until January.
Van Los Blancos is expected to sign the Benfica left back Alvaro Carreras after the World Cup Club for a fee in the region of € 50 million this summer. Even with its addition, however, Alonso would leave with just one natural option that starts in the first months of the season, one without a full preseason, if Garcia would leave.
