Sent off Sunday
Mendes was shown a red card in the 87th minute of Sunday's Super Cup final against Lens.
Analysis: Mendes will have to head into the 2026/27 campaign on the sidelines, with the defender given a red card in the Super Cup final after appearing from the bench. This is likely to shake up things for the season opener against Rennes on Aug. 23, as he is their expected starter. The good news is they did bring in Lucas Digne this offseason, a starter at Aston Villa the past few campaigns, a very respectable replacement at left-back moving forward.
Plays 75 minutes in Super Cup
Mendes played 75 minutes in Wednesday's Super Cup final 2-1 win over Aston Villa before being replaced due to cramps.
Analysis: Mendes finished last season with four goals and five assists across 20 Ligue 1 appearances, and closed out the World Cup with five starts for Portugal, contributing one goal, 11 chances created, 19 crosses and nine tackles. His return to full match action is an encouraging sign after a long tournament run, though he could see less time at left back heading into 2026/27 with Lucas Digne now in the mix for playing time at the position.
