Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has pleaded not guilty to an eighth count of rape ahead of his trial.
The footballer appeared at Chester Crown Court on Wednesday for his trial. He has already denied seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault.
He pleaded not guilty to the 10th charge, relating to a new complainant, which had already been reported but had not previously been put to him.
The 28-year-old, who wore a blue suit for the hearing, is alleged to have committed the offences against seven young women between October 2018 and August last year. He is due to stand trial alongside co-defendant Louis Saha Matturie, 40.
