‘What’s up with my knee is nothing’ – How Mendy kept his spirits up through injury torment

After being placed in a hospital bed beside a patient diagnosed with cancer, the 23-year-old found he was able to put into context his problems

Manchester City left-back Benjamin Mendy has revealed how he was able to maintain his spirits after his serious knee injury last season.

The 23-year-old defender suffered a rupture of his right knee ligaments against Crystal Palace in September and was forced to travel to Spain for treatment.

Although considered one of the most serious injuries possible for a sportsman, he was rapidly able to put his position into perspective, as he explained to SFR Sport.
