Manchester City fullback Benjamin Mendy is cutting short his summer break to get in shape for preseason.

The left back is having an ongoing battle with a meniscus problem and spending time in Barcelona with Dr Ramon Cugat in an attempt to eradicate the issue.

City decided he would spend the final weeks of the season undergoing rehabilitation with Cugat and that will continue into the close season, reports the Daily Mail.

Mendy, who recorded five assists in 10 Premier League games this season, is also acutely aware of public opinion following a number of off-field issues and determined to make a success of his City career.

The lack of booked holidays indicate the France international is desperate to hit the ground running when Pep Guardiola's Treble winners meet up for pre-season in July.
