# City’s Benjamin Mendy a doubt to face Liverpool

Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy is being considered a doubt to face Liverpool at the weekend.

The [Manchester Evening News reports](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-benjamin-mendy-injury-15237188) that the club are unsure over whether or not Mendy will feature after being left out of the most recent France squad.

Mendy has been unable to shift a foot injury that he suffered in training and there are now concerns over the player’s fitness.

The news follows a reported row between the French defender and Pep Guardiola over his attitude off the pitch.

Liverpool have their own fitness concerns to contend with also, with Naby Keita suffering a peculiar injury against Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The meeting at Anfield on Sunday will be a clash of the two title favourites this season.

Sunday’s game will put first against second and both teams will be out to put down a marker at this early stage of the campaign.
