"Manchester City" defender Benjamin Mendy will undergo more detailed medical examinations in the near future, but there are already fears that he may miss several months of football. This was reported by the football news portal Goal.com.
The Frenchman was forced to leave the field in the first half of the match against London's "Crystal Palace" when he collided with Andros Townsend.
"City" manager Pep Guardiola spoke after the match, saying that it is likely just a bruise, but on Monday Mendy missed the team's training session and went to see the club doctor, Ramon Cugat, whom the coach trusts greatly.
The club's medical staff is concerned that the 23-year-old footballer's injury could be more serious - it is possible that the defender injured his knee ligaments.
If the worst prognosis is confirmed, the newcomer from "Monaco" who arrived this summer would not play at least until January. The exact condition of Mendy should be clarified soon.
