Manchester City have announced defender Benjamin Mendy has had knee surgery but have not stated how long they expect him to be sidelined.
Mendy missed most of last season after ACL surgery, although he still won the Premier League and the World Cup.
This injury comes on his other knee, and it was a small tear to the meniscus suffered in the 3-1 derby win over Manchester United.
"Manchester City can cofirm that Benjamin Mnedy has undergone surgery on his left knee tonight," the club said.
"The Frenchman, who played the full 90 minutes in the weekend’s 3-1 win over rivals Manchester United, travelled to join up with his national team before withdrawing from the squad.
"The 24-year-old defender attended Dr. Cugat’s clinic in Barcelona where scans revealed that surgery was required.
"That surgery was conducted on Wednesday evening and everyone at Manchester City wishes Benjamin a speedy recovery."
