Manchester City are sending Benjamin Mendy on a warm weather training camp in an effort to get the injury-stricken defender fit for their historic Quadruple tilt.

Mendy has made just one appearance since November due to a knee injury, but Pep Guardiola hopes the left-back will be available after the international break.

And Mendy, together with a City physio, will jet away in the coming days to complete the final phase of his rehabilitation in warmer climes.

Benjamin Mendy has missed most of the season but is nearing a return for action

Spain and the United Arab Emirates potential destinations, though the final details of Mendy's trip will be finalised in the next 48 hours.

The defender's team-mate David Silva is currently in Dubai on his own warm weather training regime.

Guardiola has given his players not on international duty a few days and permission to leave England to recharge the batteries ahead of the season climax.

And Silva has flown to the popular destination ahead of the crucial fixture against Fulham on March 30.
