Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy's Instagram adventures led to a confusing Pep Guardiola press conference earlier this afternoon.
Earlier today, Mendy posted a story tagging himself in Hong Kong.
The Frenchman is still sidelined with injury and Guardiola was bemused when asked about Mendy's travels.
Wow, I didn't know. He said he was going to Paris but Hong Kong is far away, I need to download an Instagram account. Yesterday he was in Barcelona. It will definitely not be OK if he is in Hong Kong.
Mendy then took to Twitter and claimed it was a joke.
🤣🤣🤣 it was just joking with my uber driver I dont want no problems Pep
