With John Stones injured against Leicester, the French defender is determined to take his chance should it arrive
Eliaquim Mangala insists his latest first-team opportunity at Manchester City is not complicated by recently being the unwanted man at the Etihad Stadium.
Mangala became one of the most expensive defenders in football history when he joined City for a reported £32 million in August 2014 from Porto.
However, the France international undermined his progress with frequently erratic displays and was loaned to Valencia last season as Pep Guardiola took the reins in east Manchester.
