Ferland Mendy injured and doubtful for PSG clash

French defender has injured a muscle in his adductor.

Carlo Ancelotti is facing an anxious wait to know if he will be able to select Ferland Mendy for Real Madrid in the Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, with the French international suffering an injury which leaves him in doubt.

Having been described as a muscular issue within his adductor, Mendy's ailment could well keep him out of the first leg against the Ligue 1 leaders, with Real Madrid's concern over this matter reaching the highest level.

It is two weeks before the meeting on February 15, and he will almost certainly miss the match against Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey, and the LaLiga Santander encounters with Villarreal and Granada before the Champions League returns.

Mendy could also miss a potential Copa del Rey semi-final should Real Madrid make it to the competition's last four.
