Mendy trolls teammate by hilariously joking Zinchenko is De Bruyne's son

BENJAMIN MENDY reinforced his status as the king of banter at Manchester City by trolling Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian playmaker posted a picture of himself throwing his young child like a basketball across a swimming pool.

The snap, captioned "throwing my kid like a basketball because we miss the NBA season" drew the attention of left-back Mendy.

He retweeted the image, hilariously joking: "Poor Zinchenko."

City pair De Bruyne and Oleksandr Zinchenko have become subject to a club joke that they are mirror images of each other.

The doppelgangers even posed with the FA Cup together to prove just how similar they really are.

Mendy has a reputation on social media for showing off his playful side, and plenty of fans got it on the gag.
