Unsure if confirmed yet, but all over twitter. The AFCON rumoured to be cancelled. 

Good news for us to have Mendy available. Bad news that Liverpool will keep hold of Salah.

Someone who knows considerably more about goalkeeping than I do has a different opinion:

 

That bloke needs to get out more concrete proof how football is over analysed these days.

Why would they cancel it when African players have regularly been leaving to play games in Africa during the international breaks.

We don't get to pick and choose which games we include/exclude. 

If we let in 5 against WBA we have to acknowledge that as well as impressive hard fought clean sheets against the likes of City in the European Cup final.

I know as simple as that but the fact he had a period where he was conceding well above the average and still has stats like that makes his overall outlay even more impressive.

TT said before the game we had to rely top much on Mendy of late. Well he could have pulled out a deck chair today and rested and had nothing but a tackle to make vs Norwich. 

He's faced two shots on target in his last three appearances, which to be honest is a well-earned break after the chaos of the Brentford game. Hope he enjoys doing the crossword!

Another clean sheet tonight.😀

I don't know if the mistakes were due to ignorance from media outlets or some form innate racism. 

Either way it's disgusting enough for media to mistake him for a rap*st

Well that's a new low for the media trying to destabilize our side by targeting a key player.

lol while I'm all for us against the world, it's just another example of straight up lil bit of racism and lack of any form of research by people/media.

Like West Hams owner talking about a black player whilst posting a picture of a completely different player.

Google image searching Mendy and taking the first result because actual work is hard.

True story. Someone probably just googled 'Mendy footballer'.

The question I keep asking is, what if some vigilante who didn't watch football read the article then saw him in the streets?

That was utterly criminal incompetence and I dread to think how Edou felt.

Or more likely tens of thousands of people with not many brain cells will read it and just assume every black player with the name Mendy is a rapist.

Exactly, the club should press charges and sue for defamation.

I know this isn't the right topic to discuss this but, unfortunately, the standards of journalism these days aren't very high. It is all about copy-paste whether it's fake news or not.

You'd think the gloves would be a clue. Also the Champions' League trophy.

Luckily your average Millwall fan can’t read but I’m sure they were already of this opinion anyway. 

Really? On the road to legendary status!

I probably went to sleep in the last 10 -15 minutes, how the hell did he get a Yellow? 😁 He had 1 or 2 shots to save in the game, but absolutely showed up when the moment came.
