Ferland Mendy omitted from Real Madrid’s Champions League list as Mourinho names squad | OneFootball

Ferland Mendy has been left out of Real Madrid’s Champions League squad, with Jose Mourinho excluding the French defender from his European list. Injured pair Eder Militao and Rodrygo have been registered.

According to Goal.com, Mendy, who was injured late last season, does not appear on the official UEFA submission. Mourinho finalised his group ahead of next week’s opener at the Santiago Bernabeu against Inter Milan.

List A contains few surprises, while List B has been reinforced by 11 Castilla players. New signing Sergio Martinez has been allocated the number 38 shirt.

Youth options include goalkeepers Sergio Mestre and Javi Navarro, plus defenders Fortea and Joan Martinez. They provide depth behind the senior core.

With the squad now set, Madrid turn back to domestic business and a testing trip to Real Betis at La Cartuja. Debutants such as Sergio Martinez have already earned senior call-ups, while Mendy continues his rehabilitation.
