British media reported on Friday that Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy was acquitted of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault on Friday, while a jury failed to reach a verdict on one count of rape and one attempted rape. .

The trial has been taking place at Chester Crown Court since August after 13 women filed charges against Mendy and Louis Saha Matturie. Manchester City have released a statement saying the club is aware of the decision.

“Given there are open matters related to this case, the club is not in a position to comment further at this time,” City said in a statement.
