Edouard Mendy will have to deal with being misnamed once again as the presenter on Amazon Prime referred to the Chelsea goalkeeper as disgraced Manchester City star Benjamin Mendy.
The Blues stopper hit out after suffering the same unjust embarrassment only a couple of weeks ago, when his image was used in a picture regarding Benjamin.
Presenter Simon Thomas was reading off a stat about Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale only being behind Edouard in save percentage, when he named the Chelsea man Benjamin in front of a startled Patrice Evra, as well as Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer.
Manchester City defender Mendy is currently in custody, having been charged with six counts of rape and also sexual assault, per BBC Sport.
