Benjamin Mendy will face no action from Manchester City as he did not break club rules when spotted out partying in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The 24-year-old, who has played just once since November, was not named in Pep Guardiola’s travelling squad to Fulham later that day.
He did, however, have a training session at the City Football Academy after being snapped on video at Manchester’s Club Liv at 3:30am.
Mendy, whose long-term future at the Etihad Stadium is in doubt, did not break any curfews and City say they are relaxed about his late-night escapades.
The France international has been training for a number of weeks following persistent knee injuries and completed the training session on Saturday.
Mendy’s only minutes since suffering an injury after a win over Manchester United more than five months ago came as a substitute away at Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup semi-final dead rubber.
He infuriated Guardiola in September by turning up late for a rehabilitation session following a trip to Wembley to watch Anthony Joshua’s world title fight against Alexander Povetkin.
Mendy was told to stay away from the first team for the remainder of that week, with City still looking at potential left backs to sign this summer.

Mendy needs to be sold. I don’t care if we sell him for 5m or 500m he needs to be gone ASAP. His focus is clearly not on football. Although I believe footballers should have a life. Mendy is trying to come back from injury and he’s at a nightclub the night before a match. His immaturity is no room in the city dressing room. If he had a choice to win the social media d’or or ballon d’or he would take the social media title without a blink of the eye. We don’t need him or delph. Zinchenko has rightly taken over the left back spot.✌🏼

As long as he was not dancing with his sore legs its alright with me if he can get back fit and support the team to the oppurtunity of winning a Quad then bring him on

No wonder why Pep is looking for a new LB. Eventhough Mendy has not broken any club rules, this would be seen as a lack of commitment by Pep who always demands commitment and focus from his players. Alex Grimaldi or Alex Telles would first choice LB at City next season with Zinchenko as second choice. Mendy will be looking for a new club come june.

If he violated no team rules and showed up to training on time, then why would he be punished? He's allowed to have a social life.

Great way for an injury prone player to stay healthy... go to training running on 4 hours of sleep and hungover...

So sad to see a huge talent gradually rot away before our very eyes. Still feels he's the best crosser of the ball and can only get better if he stays fit. Put your trust in Guardiola, you will only surely get better. From an Arsenal fan.

Before you know it, this Guy will lose all he has unless he starts making drastic changes now. And I pray he doesn't regret anything before it is too late. Good Luck MENDY
