Former Manchester City right-back Benjamin Mendy has been revealed to be entitled to the majority of his unpaid salary while he was suspended by the Premier League reigning champions, Manchester City.
A judge ruled that Manchester City are entitled to withhold the player’s wages for the period he was in the Police custody after he was aggressively accused of rape.
Manchester City suspended the player after he was accused of rape and sexual assault in August 2021. After he was acquitted, he took Manchester City to the Employment Tribunal in a bid to claim his £11 million unpaid wages.
The judge revealed that what Mendy will receive from Manchester City will be calculated between the two parties.
In addition, the judge said, “I found that Mr. Mendy was’ready and willing’ to work during the non-custody periods and was prevented from doing so by impediments the FA suspension and bail conditions, which were unavoidable or involuntary on his part.”
The Premier League reigning Champions, Manchester City, have failed to react to the judgement.
