Mbappe and Griezmann boost for Mendy

Mendy was forced off in the 29th minute of City's 5-0 thumping of Crystal Palace last weekend and will now be out of action until April.

With the news, former Monaco teammate Mbappe and France striker Griezmann were quick to offer their support to City's £52m man.

While Griezmann added: "Courage amigo!!"
