Ferland Mendy will reportedly start for Real Madrid in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Chelsea at Bernabeu.
The Frenchman has struggled with injury problems in recent weeks, recently missing out against Barcelona in El Clasico due to an abductor problem.
Mendy played the full 90 minutes against Chelsea in the first leg of their last-eight affair but was then absent against Getafe in La Liga on Saturday due to a slight muscular issue.
The left-back had been seen as a major doubt for the clash in Madrid, but according to journalist Carlos Rodriguez, Mendy will start against Chelsea on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old allegedly completed Monday's training session with no problems and has therefore convinced head coach Carlo Ancelotti that he is fit to start against the Blues.
Mendy has again been an important player for Real Madrid during the 2021-22 campaign, making 28 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and three assists.
Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz could also be back in the Spanish side's squad against Chelsea, but Isco and Eden Hazard are still injured, while Eder Militao will miss out through suspension. body check tags ::
