A British court refused Wednesday to release Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, 27, on bail, ordering the player to remain in custody ahead of a potential trial on rape and sexual assault charges.
Judge Steven Everett declined the Frenchman’s bail application at Chester Crown Court in northwest England following a 50-minute hearing, a court spokesman said.
