Will Benjamin Mendy Return?

It is unclear if Benjamin Mendy will return to the club or football again.

He is currently suspended by Manchester City and has been since the end of August 2021, with the Frenchman currently facing nine charges in all, including seven counts of rape involving six alleged victims.

Mendy has been accused of being a predator who “turned the pursuit of women for sex into a game”. It was also alleged he locked his victims in a panic room and hid their phones so they could not escape.

After he was cleared of the majority charges, his club, Manchester City released a statement saying “Manchester City FC notes the verdict from Chester Crown Court today, where a jury has found Benjamin Mendy not guilty of seven charges… Given there are open matters related to this case, the club is not in a position to comment further at this time”.
