International Friendlies: Edouard Mendy returns to Chelsea after injuring thigh on Senegal duty

Former Renne Goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy has returned to Chelsea after injuring his thigh while training with Senegal.

Mendy, 28, joined the Blues on a five-year deal last month and kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace.

He was also in goal in a defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao cup where Chelsea was edged out in a 5 – 4 penalty shootout.

He injured his right thigh in training on Wednesday and has been sent back to London after an examination at a hospital in Rabat.

Senegal play Morocco in a friendly on Friday night.
