Second man arrested in Benjamin Mendy sex attack probe: Suspect, 40, held on suspicion of rape – as Man City star, 27, appears in court over five sexual offences

Police have arrested a second man in connection with an ongoing rape investigation into Manchester City star Benjamin Mendy.

The man, who is 40-years-old, was arrested on suspicion of rape and was bailed pending further enquiries according to a Cheshire Police spokesperson.

It follows news that World Cup winning left back Mendy faced Cheshire Magistrates' Court on Friday accused of four counts of rape in his home and one charge of sexual assault.

Mendy, 27, who moved to the reigning champions for £52million four years ago, is accused of committing one of the alleged rapes while on bail for the other four offences.
