Sports / Benjamin Mendy Will Be Sidelined Again For Manchester City After Undergoing A Kn by Timmy1010(m): 11:25pm On Nov 17, 2018 |
Benjamin Mendy will be sidelined again for Manchester City after undergoing a knee operation on Wednesday. The defender had surgery on his left knee in Barcelona after pulling out of the France squad, City confirmed. It is a meniscus problem and not a repeat of the cruciate knee ligament injury which saw him miss the majority of last season. No timeframe has been given for the full-back’s recovery. “Surgery was conducted on Wednesday evening and everyone at Manchester City wishes Benjamin a speedy recovery,” a City statement added. Mendy played 90 minutes in City’s 3-1 Manchester derby win on Sunday but withdrew from international duty afterwards. The 24-year-old was assessed by City’s surgeon Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona before having surgery. Mendy, who has nine caps for France, suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury in September 2017 before returning in April. He made seven appearances in City’s title-winning season last term, enough to earn a winners’ medal having joined from Monaco for a reported £52m . Fabian Delph, Danilo and Oleksandr Zinchenko are options to replace him at left-back for City manager Pep Guardiola.
