The newspaper added that the reason behind the delay of the French defender is subjected to the second medical disclosure, for his presence with his country in Turkey, for a confrontation in the Euro 2020, after Saturday.

The newspaper pointed out that Real Madrid doctors insist that the player undergo a second medical examination, especially as the player suffered a recent injury to the hip, causing his absence from his team for two months.

Zinedine Zidane is seeking to join Mende to compete with Brazilian Marcelo in the left front of the team, especially as the latter suffered a significant decline in the level of the season.
