Out vs. Iraq, could return in R16
Mendy has been ruled out of Senegal's match against Iraq after an MRI revealed a knee sprain involving the internal ligament, with hopes of a return in the round of 16 if they qualify , according to Khadim Diakhate of Dssports1.
Analysis: Mendy avoided a meniscal injury according to the scan results, with the issue instead diagnosed as a knee sprain from a strain of the internal ligament. The goalkeeper's World Cup is not necessarily over, with a return possible should Senegal book their place in the round of 16.
Won't play against Iraq
Mendy (knee) will be unavailable for the third group-stage match versus Iraq, and he's still undergoing tests to determine the nature and extent of the issue, Senegal's national team announced.
Analysis: Mendy's participation in the 2026 World Cup could be over if Senegal fail to achieve an unlikely qualification to the round of 32, with his ligament issue forcing him to rest for several days. This means Mory Diaw could get a rare opportunity to guard Senegal's goal in a decent fixture against Iraq. Mendy finished the first stage of the tournament with eight saves and six goals allowed over 153 minutes of play.
