Man City player has uncertain future after Guardiola says outcasts ‘will be on the bench’ [Opinion]

Pep Guardiola recently admitted he will rotate his squad less now Manchester City are approaching the final straight of the season, so players like Benjamin Mendy could spend the rest of the campaign on the periphery.

The 26-year-old finds himself behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the pecking order and has spent most of the campaign on the bench, featuring only once in the Premier League in 2021.

Guardiola isn’t shy with chopping and changing his lineup on a weekly basis, but the City boss says he might stick with a more settled side for the last two months of the season.
