#4 Benjamin Mendy
Monaco full-back Benjamin Mendy moved to Manchester City in summer for £52m, a world-record fee for a defender. He played a key part in Monaco's successful run to the Ligue 1 title last season with 5 assists and 13 clean sheets. The 23-year-old started well in England but his season was cut short by a ruptured cruciate knee ligament and is expected to be out of the 2017/18 season.
Why will Man City miss Mendy?
He put in 29 crosses in 4 games and was key to Manchester City's attacking play down the left flank. Manchester City are already without their captain Vincent Kompany and with Mendy injured, it will definitely expose City's defensive frailties as the season goes on. Manchester City doesn't have a cover in left-back position and Fabian Delph was made to play as a makeshift left-back.
