Manchester City are set for a significant boost with Benjamin Mendy gearing up for a return to England next week.
The 23-year-old has spent almost a month in Barcelona after surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during victory over Crystal Palace in September.
Mendy has been looked over by Pep Guardiola's preferred doctor, Ramon Cugat, while staying in Catalonia.
He stopped in a similar apartment to Ilkay Gundogan while the midfielder battled his own injury last season.
