Real Madrid could reportedly be without the services of Ferland Mendy for the next two weeks due to a groin issue.

Real Madrid could be without the services of Ferland Mendy for the next two weeks, with the left-back suffering a groin problem during the Champions League clash against Chelsea earlier this week.

The 26-year-old has struggled with injury problems in recent weeks, missing out against Barcelona due to an abductor issue, while he was also not involved against Getafe in the league last weekend.

Mendy was replaced in the 78th minute of the Champions League quarter-final second leg with Chelsea at Bernabeu, meanwhile, with Marcelo entering as his replacement.

According to journalist Lucas Navarrete, the France international is now facing two weeks on the sidelines, meaning that he is likely to be absent for the first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final with Manchester City on April 26.

Mendy could potentially return against Espanyol in La Liga on April 30, which comes ahead of the second leg of their European Cup last-four clash with Man City at Bernabeu.

Marcelo is also believed to have suffered a groin issue, which will rule him out of this weekend's match with Sevilla, so Nacho could operate at left-back for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
