Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed Benjamin Mendy will be sidelined for 10 to 12 weeks after undergoing surgery on his knee. Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva will also be absent for Saturday's trip to West Ham United.
The Citizens return to Premier League action after the international break, and Guardiola confirmed to the media on Friday that Mendy would be out for the long term:
"Ten or 12 weeks" was Guardiola's answer when giving an estimation on Mendy's absence. In regards to Silva, he said the Portuguese maestro "cannot play this weekend" and is a doubt for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash at Lyon.
