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.”

"I think it's possible for me to come back within four weeks."

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."
