Manchester City fullback Benjamin Mendy is set to miss the start of the season.
Mendy will miss the start of Manchester City's 2017-18 Premier League season with a thigh injury, Pep Guardiola has revealed.
The 23-year-old did not feature in City's 4-1 pre-season victory over Real Madrid in Los Angeles despite passing a medical and completing a £49.2million move to City from Monaco on Monday.
Guardiola confirmed the defender has been nursing the injury for eight months and is doubtful for City's Premier League opener away at Brighton on August 12.
"Unfortunately he is a little bit injured and is not ready for the next two or three weeks," the City boss said.
