Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has questioned his surprise Ballon d'Or snub and claims the decision may have been because of his nationality.
Mendy, 29, has starred for his club since joining from Rennes, having won the Champions League and dazzled in the Premier League, but missed out on the 30-man shortlist for the prestigious award.
Initially, the stopper insisted it was not an 'injustice' to not receive a nomination, but has now taken aim at the process and believes he would have made the cut if he had played for France instead.
