Manchester City full-back Benjamin Mendy has said that he is excited to return to action when the Premier League resumes.
Speaking to FourFourTwo , Mendy has spoken of his excitement about playing football again.
“I can't wait,” he said.
“We are just waiting for the green light. Everywhere we see we are going to start on this date and that date.
“Now I wait for the guys to text us to tell us the league is going to start at this time, and we are going to be so happy.
“But I know they are going to take all the precautions when we are back.
“It's not like they are just going to say 'let's go play', they are going to check everything and I think that's why it takes time.
Although the defender has missed football, he is thankful for the extra time the break has given him, especially over a special religious time.
“All of the people have missed football, but at this time now, for Muslim people it means I can be more focused on Ramadan,” he added.
“We don't train, we can fast, but the mosques are closed and we can't go out or see family at Eid.
“So, I have missed the football but it makes you focus on the more important things. I have tried to develop myself and learn every day.”
June 19 or June 26 have been reported as two possible restart dates for the Premier League, following the success of the Bundesliga's restart.
