Mendy ruptures anterior cruciate ligament

Mendy was forced off in the 29th minute of City's 5-0 thumping of Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The full-back will have surgery with a specialist in Barcelona on Friday before starting what is likely a long and arduous road to recovery.

Bad news guys ll be joining Injury FC on loan for a couple monthes with ruptured ACL... but will be back soon & stronger hopefully
