Benjamin Mendy is likely to miss at least the first month of next season as new signing Angelino promised he is not just making up the numbers at Manchester City.
Mendy had an arthroscopy in May and is completing rehabilitation with Dr Ramon Cugat in Barcelona, with City not expecting him back training until mid-August.
Pep Guardiola will carefully manage the £52million signing, who has suffered constant knee injuries since his move two years ago. Mendy has started just 14 Premier League games for the club.
It leaves Guardiola with the returning Angelino, a £5.
