Pep Guardiola is "casual" about reports that Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy was in a nightclub until Saturday morning.
The left-back of France had not been included in City's traveling squad for his match at Fulham later in the day.
The boss of the city, Guardiola, said: "They are old enough to know what they have to do, I am not his father. I would prefer him to come home earlier, but I do not control the players in this situation.
"(I'm not) frustrated, I'm a relaxed guy. It may not look like that, but I sleep very well.
Mendy, 24, has had two campaigns devastated by the injury to City since joining the club in the summer of 2017.
He appeared only once, as a substitute at the Carabao Cup in Burton in January, since he had a meniscus surgery in November. He missed most of his first season at the club due to a cruciate ligament injury.
He was also disciplined last September when he was late for treatment for a foot injury, after attending a high profile boxing event in London the following day. watch at night.
The player is now in form and in contention for Wednesday's clash with Cardiff at Etihad Stadium.
"Yes, he is fit," Guardiola said at the pre-match press conference.
