Gains rhythm on international duty
Mendoza featured in all three of Spain U21's matches during the international break, totaling 180 minutes while scoring in the 13-0 win over San Marino.
Analysis: Mendoza gained valuable playing time with Spain U21 after seeing his role at Atletico diminish before the international break. The midfielder scored against San Marino before completing 90 minutes against Romania, where he also contributed to Spain's attacking play in the 7-1 win that secured qualification for the 2027 European Championship. He returns to Atletico with increased match rhythm and a manageable workload, though competition in midfield makes a start against Alaves on Saturday unlikely.
Takes part in full training
Mendoza is training normally as Atletico Madrid began preseason on Monday under coach Diego Simeone, according to Atletico MD.
Analysis: Mendoza had ended last season sidelined with a muscle strain in his leg that forced an early exit and threatened his availability for the campaign's final matches. His full involvement in the club's opening preseason session suggests the issue has been resolved. The midfielder had operated mainly as a rotational option last season. Mendoza is expected to continue building toward full fitness as Atletico Madrid's preseason preparations get underway.
