The trial on the charges against Benjamin Mendy between October 2020 and August 2021, must for the moment take place from January 24, 2022. The three requests for release of the player, who denies the facts, have so far been refused by British justice.

The player was remanded in custody for failing to respect the rules of his judicial review.

In August, he had organized a party at his home with about twenty people, where the justice prohibited him from receiving more than four people at his home if they were not part of his relatives or did not work for him.
