Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy faces another lay-off with knee problems
Benjamin Mendy faces another lay-off with knee problems after the Manchester City defender had an operation in Barcelona on Wednesday night.
Mendy played 90 minutes in the Manchester derby on Sunday but withdrew from the France squad the following day.
The 24-year-old full-back was sent to be assessed by City’s surgeon Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona and underwent surgery on the cartilage meniscus in his left knee.
The problem is not connected to the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in Mendy’s right knee that he suffered in September last year, restricting him to just eight appearances in his first season at City after a £52million move from Monaco.
