Real Madrid's Ferland Mendy faces criminal trial for dog attack incident

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy is facing a criminal trial related to an incident from January 2023, where four of his dogs escaped and caused injuries to two individuals, including a 17-year-old boy. The prosecution is asking for a fine of €1200, along with a six-month prison sentence. Mendy's dogs lacked mandatory identification, insurance, and rabies vaccinations, leading to additional charges. An open trial has been established, but a hearing date is yet to be set. This ongoing legal issue compounds Mendy's recent injury struggles and absence from competitive play.
