Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy has arrived at court where he is accused of seven rapes and one sexual assault.

The 27-year-old ducked past reporters and photographers as he was escorted into Chester Crown Court.

He allegedly raped a woman while he was on police bail in August, before entering custody in September for 134 days.
