A woman, who claims she was raped by Manchester City footballer, Benjamin Mendy, told police she had no sexual contact with his team-mate, Jack Grealish, reports standard.co.uk.

England international, Grealish, 27, was among partygoers at Mendy’s mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, in August last year when the 17-year-old complainant says she was attacked by Mendy, 28, and co-accused Louis Saha Matturie, 41.

Mendy and Matturie are on trial at Chester Crown Court, where they deny multiple sex offences against a string of young women.

Last week, the court heard the 17-year-old said to police a 23-year-old woman, who also alleges Matturie raped her, told her on the night she had sex with Grealish.

Yesterday, in further police interviews she said Matturie also mentioned to her the woman had “been together” with the former Aston Villa winger.

Three or four of Grealish’ friends from Birmingham came to the party after she earlier arrived in a taxi which followed a Range Rover in which Grealish was a passenger, she said.

The complainant said his friends were ‘quite pleasant’ and ‘quite normal,’ and there was ‘nothing suggestive or weird’ in their conversations.

Grealish went on to compliment her ‘beautiful eyes’ as she entered the swimming pool at the mansion and he walked out.

She said she replied: ‘Thank you.’ Later she saw Grealish ‘fast asleep in the house.

The woman said she had not previously met
