Manchester City could start Benjamin Mendy against Tottenham Hotspur, The Mail report.

City have injury problems at full-back ahead of the match with Tottenham in the Champions League this week.

Injuries to Olekandr Zinchenko, Fabian Delph and Kyle Walker are giving manager Pep Guardiola a selection dilemma.

Fortunately for City, Mendy’s return could be perfectly timed.

The Frenchman’s last Premier League start was back in October. He was back in the team this weekend for the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton.

He has experience at this level too, playing a role for Monaco in their run to the Champions League semi-final in 2017.

This prompted City to spend £52 million on Mendy.

He featured in City’s victory over Tottenham at Wembley earlier this season.

As replacements go, Mendy is not a bad option to have.
