Ferland Mendy 'on course to return for Real Madrid against Paris Saint-Germain'

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy will reportedly be fit for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 26-year-old has been an important player for Los Blancos during the 2021-22 campaign, making 21 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists in the process.

Mendy missed out against Granada last weekend due to a hamstring problem, though, which saw him emerge as a major doubt for next week's European contest with PSG.

According to Marca, the left-back has now returned to full training with Los Blancos and is on course to be available for selection against Mauricio Pochettino's side.

The report claims that Mendy could feature against Villarreal this weekend but is unlikely to be risked, as head coach Carlo Ancelotti looks ahead to the clash with the French giants.

Karim Benzema, though, is allegedly losing his battle to be fit, with a hamstring injury still troubling the Frenchman ahead of the last-16 first leg with PSG.
