DBasia.news –  Manchester City left-back Benjamin Mendy is currently injured. Pep Guardiola, Man City’s manager, admitted he missed him, although they often disagreed because of Mendy’s act which often chattered on social media.

Benjamin Mendy became one of the players who often invited controversy. Several times Pep Guardiola rebuked the player for his activities on social media.

Even so, Pep Guardiola assesses Manchester City lost the figure of Benjamin Mendy in the right-back sector. The Frenchman has only played 12 per match in the 2018-2019 season.

“I repeatedly said we missed him, I missed him. He gave us something special, but he has been injured for a long time and it became a fact he could not immediately play. He must be in the rhythm we did,” said Pep Guardiola, Manchester reported Evening News.

“However, at the same time in these two seasons, we cannot complain too much. In fact, we played with Fabian, Oleks, Danilo and also Aymeric Laporte. However, he is the only pure player in that position, hopefully, he’ll be back.”

“We miss him, but we will not cry because he is not there. We have to move forward, wait for him, prepare and he will be fit again. He will understand what we are doing and struggle to win a position on the team,” Guardiola said.

“He got much better strength, but still he didn’t train with us on Friday. The injury is what we have to wait for. We have to wait, day after day,” he continued.

Benjamin Mendy suffered a knee injury on November 14 last year. Previously, the player had been sidelined for 23 days due to foot problems.
