The tabloid The Sun puts the defense lawyer in one of its daily editions, all flanked by a clear headline and directed against the French: “Fault! “.
The 2018 World Champion is therefore accused of having organized a New Year’s Eve dinner and, in particular, of not following the health protocol applicable to footballers in England. In addition to a chef hired for the occasion, the 26-year-old would have welcomed people from outside his family bubble.
By sharing the information, the Daily Mail also ensures that Manchester City conducts an investigation to shed light on this event and reserves the right to sanction it if necessary. The British daily also transmitted the apologies of Benjamin Mendy, who spoke through a mediator.
“Benjamin and his partner allowed a cook and two friends of his partner to come to their house for a New Years Eve dinner,” the spokesperson said. . Benjamin admits that this is a violation of Covid-19 protocols and apologizes for his actions in this regard. Benjamin has been tested and communicated with Manchester City about it. ”
While Benjamin Mendy awaits the return of his medical examinations, he finds himself in the eye of the storm on the Manchester City side after a complicated start to the season. Even if his test comes back negative, this new problem is colored and comes just days after five positive cases on the Citizens list and the postponement of the match against Everton earlier in the week.
But, and the British press also reminds us that the former defender of OM and Monaco is not the only footballer to break the health protocol on the other side of the chain. Fulham and Crystal Palace have opened an investigation into the behavior of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Luka Milivojevic after the snapshots of the two Serbian internationals who woke up were taken. However, the main controversy of the party mainly affects several players from West Ham and Tottenham, and even angered José Mourinho.
