The trial of Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy and co-defendant Louis Saha Matturie is scheduled to continue today. Mr Mendy, 28, is accused of seven counts of rape against four women; one count of attempted rape; and one count of sexual assault.

The offences are alleged to have taken place at his Cheshire mansion between October 2018 and August last year, relating to seven women in total.

Yesterday, the French international was found not guilty of raping a young woman after prosecutors announced they had dropped the charge.

Mr Matturie, 41, was also cleared of two counts of rape and one of sexual assault against the same woman after prosecutors offered no further evidence against the defendants on those four counts.
