Benjamin Mendy has accused Manchester City of misquoting him over his injury.
In their twitter account, City quoted Mendy as saying that the Manchester derby ‘is a realistic aim’ which the former Monaco star himself denied ever saying.
The post in the twitter account read: "The Manchester derby is a realistic aim. That's half clear in my mind.
"I really want to play that game.
"I am coming back a bit quicker than expected.”

The City full-back retweeted the post, and wrote: "Not sure where or when I said that but... calm down guys, no rush or pressure it will take as long as I need until I'm 100 per cent."

Mendy made an impressive start at City following his £49.1million move from Monaco last summer but made only five appearances before being sidelined following a knee ligament damage in the Premier League 5-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Etihad in September last year.
