As Manchester City players returned from international duty yesterday, some of the team posed for pictures during a training session.
Benjamin Mendy opted not to look towards the camera and instead turned his attention to teammate Bernardo Silva. After the photo was taken, the Portuguese playmaker took to Twitter to ask if the Frenchman had missed him whilst he was away:
@benmendy23 did you miss me that much? pic.twitter.com/QQmY5QJuqV

City fans have been enjoying the banter between the two players:
He’s only expressing how we all feel

Silva has been in superb form this season and deserves all the plaudits he gets from both supporters and teammates alike.
In 41 appearances for the Citizens this campaign, the Portuguese international has scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists. He was superb in the 3-2 win against Swansea in the FA Cup before the international break.
Silva has been rewarded for his performances with a new six-year contract earlier this month, keeping the 24-year-old at the Etihad until the summer of 2025.
