Benjamin Mendy brings "a special quality" to Manchester City, according to Pep Guardiola, who is hoping the French left-back can maintain full fitness after his impressive display against Arsenal.
City forked out £52 million ($64m) to lure Mendy to Etihad Stadium from Monaco in the summer of 2017, after watching him emerge as one of the brightest young talents in Europe at Stade Louis II.
Unfortunately, he has been unable to reach his full potential in Manchester due to a string of serious injuries, limiting him to just 47 appearances in all competitions over the past three seasons.
