# Manchester City’s Mendy could feature on Sunday

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that French defender Benjamin Mendy could feature on Sunday against Liverpool.

[As reported by Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1048196890817388544), Guardiola hinted that the attacking left-back could play some part in the game, despite originally being considered as a major doubt for the game.

It had [been suggested](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/10/04/citys-benjamin-mendy-a-doubt-to-face-liverpool/) that the player was still struggling with a foot injury that he had sustained in training.

The defender was not named in the most recent France squad for the upcoming international break, what many people considered as a clear indicator he would be playing no part at Anfield.

However, with Fabian Delph [also ruled out of the game](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/10/05/man-city-face-left-back-injury-crisis-ahead-of-liverpool-clash/), Guardiola was facing a left-back injury crisis.

Should Mendy go on to feature in the game, he will be keen to make an impression following reports of a row between himself and Guardiola over his attitude off the pitch.
