Benjamin Mendy has not posted on Instagram or Twitter in over a week now. The left-back has vowed to listen to Pep Guardiola and cut down his social media posts, yet there is another reason why there have been none of his behind-the-scenes glimpses into life in the Manchester City dressing room; he has not been there.
Last Sunday, the injured left-back turned up nearly three hours late for a recovery session on his bruised metatarsal.
As soon as Mendy walked through the door Guardiola told him to get back out. On Friday the City boss insisted the France international was "every day in the training sessions" but sources have told Goal that the Catalan banned one of his most influential players from the first-team set-up for a week.
