That is where we will meet again. "I want to get back fit as soon as possible," Mendy added. "I want to play in the Premier League, the Carabao Cup, the Champions League, the FA Cup, and there's no doubt in my mind that I will play in the World Cup."You know what I'm like when I play with City, I always have a smile on my face and it's the same with my rehab." Premier League leaders City – who are five points clear atop the summit – travel to West Brom on Saturday.</blockquote>
