Man City boss Guardiola praises Mendy for FA Cup triumph

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised Benjamin Mendy for his performance in their FA Cup semifinal win over Brighton.

Guardiola was impressed by Mendy's contribution on his playing return.

He said: “He arrived at the by-line many times and it had been a long time since he played.

“He trained for the last few weeks and started a little (shakily) but in the second half, he was much better."

On Sergio Aguero's availability for the Champions League clash at Tottenham, he added: “He is much, much better. He hasn't trained but we will see tomorrow about Tuesday (against Tottenham) or Crystal Palace."
