Mensah boosts World Cup chances

Ghana defender John Mensah boosted his chances of making the Black Stars World Cup squad in June after making his second successive start in the Slovakian top-flight last Saturday.

According to Ghanasoccernet.com, Mensah, who is recovering from a spinal surgery which laid him off for almost a year, was in action for FC Nitra’s in their 1-2 defeat to Senica.

His continuous playing time for the Slovakian side is expected to provide him the needed match fitness to fight for a place in Ghana’s World Cup squad, the site reported.

The 31-year-old former Lyon defender was substituted in the 73rd minute.
