Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy has been charged with two additional counts of rape, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

Mendy, 27, now faces six allegations of rape in all after initially being charged in August with four counts of rape.

The French international has been in custody since his arrest in August after a number of bail applications were made but refused by judges.

Mendy is also charged with a single count of sexual assault, Cheshire Police said in a statement.
