Nampalys Mendy out for months with left quad tendon rupture

FC Metz will be without Nampalys Mendy for several months after he suffered a left quad tendon rupture. L’Équipe reports that the 34-year-old midfielder is sidelined by the injury and will miss a large chunk of games.

The issue is located in the tendon of the quadriceps in his left knee, a setback that directly impacts strength and acceleration. With him out, Metz lose an important midfield option for the coming Ligue 1 fixtures.
