Benjamin Mendy - 2018/19 Performances

[Zenmanc]

Yeah but he was only moving at all during Southampton because his leg was being held together by a cast.

I didn't check, but I don't think that was the case on Sunday.

I just rewatched the whole match to verify... you're correct, no cast.

Had surgery on his left knee, probably explains why he's not been on full blob.
Step forward zinchenko and delphinio.

Manchester City can confirm that Benjamin Mendy has undergone surgery on his left knee tonight.
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.

How long :(

How long :(

Apparently it's a small tear to his meniscus. You would imagine in the ballpark: min 4 weeks, max 3 months? https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/meniscus-tears/

I've had the same op in 2013 when I was 38.
I was back running within a month,
considering Mendy is a pro footballer and in better shape than me I don't think it will be more than a month.

Kristof Terreur said Courtois had a similar operation and was out for 10 weeks, then again I guess the scale of the injury or just simply the rehabilitation process can differ.

Very disappointing news this - that said Mendy has not been playing well this season and making too many errors.
I do wonder long term whether he was the right choice to splash out £60 million 2 years ago.
He has barely played for us and had 2 major injuries, yes he is a very vibrant character but if he can't get on the pitch then what's the point?

 

[blue ranger]

Do rate mendy as a player but think he needs a long run of games to get into a groove and the pep system. Unfortunately in the 18 months he has been at city he hasn’t managed to stay fit. Just hope we haven’t signed a crock.

Heard a rumour that we're in for a new LB in the summer. Doesn't sound too promising that. Not sure if that's cos of Mendy or whatever, but yeah.
