Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

City have state of the art scanning equipment.
He will have had a scan within 24hrs of injury so Pep will have been given a pretty good idea of the nature of the injury before his press conference yesterday.
I would be v surprised if it turned out Mendy has a major problem.

Heading to Barcelona to see a specialist with fears his injury against Palace could be worse than first thought according to Jack Gaughan of the mail.

Edit - Sammy_goal and Stu Brennan MEN reporting the same.

He's ok

I find that hard to believe, but I have not been on the tour of the hospital, and they normally wait a couple of days for a CT scan.

I wouldn't. They haven't sent him to Pep's favourite specialist just to confirm he's twisted his knee

Glad to see you getting the flack you deserve for such nonsense.

Glad you are happy......

Too much chat and not enough concentration on the game

How does Mendy having a bit of a laugh on Twitter cause him to have a significant injury?

 

[kaz7]

I'm sure his tweeting had everything to do with his thought process as he went into the tackle...

He is too excitable and not very focused in my opinion,he is only young so fair enough but he didn't need to make the tackle

I said at the time after his stupid, needless challenge he could have done some real damage. You feel the pain with cruciates immediately but can still walk around, just a bit swollen. I recall Gundogan playing on for a period v Watford after he'd done his and then walking off unaided. Ibra was a shocking landing but again he got up and walked off. I reckon he's in trouble if he's gone to Pep's doc.

Said pre-match vs Palace it was a risk we didn't need to take playing him with 3 games this week ending with a big one at Chelsea. He's currently our most important player to keep fit due to the lack of replacements available if he's missing. It's going to cost us dearly as the season goes on if he's out for a lengthy time. Can only hope we can manage until January and as soon as 1st Jan comes around we've got somebody lined up to come in as we won't win the league with just 1 left back.

Danilo cannot play left back.
