📋 Real Madrid name their Champions League squad, Mendy misses out | OneFootball

Real Madrid have already sent UEFA the list of players who will take part in this season’s Champions League.

The main news on it is the absence of the injured Ferland Mendy, whose spot goes to new signing Sergio Martínez.

The call-up of the young former Racing de Santander player, now with Castilla, comes as a surprise, but his inclusion is due to the many absences José Mourinho is dealing with.

In fact, against Inter Milan on Tuesday, Real Madrid will be without Arda Güler, Camavinga and Bernardo Silva (all three suspended), and possibly Tchouaméni as well, who is still recovering from a muscle problem.

On the list Madrid submitted to UEFA this Friday, in addition to Mendy’s absence, there are as many as eight players on List B: Fortea, Joan Martínez and Marios Rivas (defenders), Thiago, Cestero, Lacosta and Valero (midfielders), and Yáñez (forward). Sergio Martínez completes the group of youngsters.
