City's Mendy vows to stay out of trouble

Mendy's first season with City was ended by a cruciate ligament injury and, having helped France win the World Cup, he has once again struggled with fitness and on-field issues this term.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old left-back made his first start since undergoing meniscus surgery in November, helping City reach the FA Cup final with a 1-0 win over Brighton at Wembley.Disciplined last September for reporting late to have treatment on a foot injury after attending Anthony Joshua's boxing bout, Mendy was back in trouble with City boss Pep Guardiola this week.

Reports claimed he was in a nightclub in the early hours of last Saturday having not been included in the City squad for Fulham later that same day.But the defender responded by insisting he would do whatever it takes to remain in Guardiola's good books. "I feel so good, and I am very happy. The team-mates and the staff have been really good," Mendy said."This injury ... when I came back sometimes the swelling stayed."I feel really fit and I want to give everything I can to help my team."Guardiola's men are the bookmakers' favourite to win the Champions League and kick off their quarter-final clash with Tottenham at the north Londoners' stunning new home on Tuesday."So we need to trust and to believe.
