Manchester City reveal that defender Benjamin Mendy made an appearance during training on Monday after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has made a return to training after a serious knee injury.

In September, Mendy was forced off during the first half of the 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, and it was soon announced that the left-back faced at least six months on the sidelines.

Mendy has been tipped for a return in April, and the French international has moved a step closer to that target by playing an active part in a training session on Monday.

The 23-year-old will not be considered for selection for a number of weeks, however, with Pep Guardiola likely to be in no rush to include the summer signing in his first-team squad due to the form of Danilo and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Mendy has made just five appearances since leaving Monaco to move to the Etihad Stadium.
