France and Manchester City defender Mendy remains in custody after being charged with six counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
Images of Edouard Mendy and his cousin Ferland Mendy who fields for Spanish giants Real Madrid, have been used for illustration of stories.
Their use was "highly symbolic", Edouard Mendy said.
On social media, the Senegal goalkeeper wrote: "Sad to see that in 2021, in France as well as in England, for some, black people have neither names nor distinct faces.
"These 'mistakes' of photos appear anecdotal, but actually they are quite the opposite, they are highly symbolic.
"It's not that complicated to differentiate two faces, especially when the football jersey is of valuable help!"
Benjamin Mendy was charged with four counts of rape and one of sexual assault in August, and was suspended by Manchester City after being charged by Police, pending an investigation.
