BENJAMIN MENDY has made his return to football after being cleared of rape.
The France international’s career was put on hold for over two years after he was accused of attacking two women during lockdown-busting parties at his Cheshire mansion during his time with Premier League champions Manchester City.
In July, Mendy, 29, was acquitted – cleared of one count of rape and one count of attempted rape after a jury deliberated for three hours.
The acquittals followed a jury clearing him of six alleged rapes and one attempted sexual assault in January.
