The Ghana Football Association has taken the first step to convincing Turkey-based midfielder Bernard Mensah to rescind his decision to temporary call time on his international career.
It was Sunday, November 8, 2020 when the Turkey-based midfielder announced his decision to temporarily retire from international football but the Ghana FA have now tried to contact the midfielder
Mensah, a former player of Atletico Madrid, announced his decision to temporarily retire from international football last year following an incident he told Adom FM’s Alex Kobina Stonne caused him to be unhappy.
According to multiple media reports, both online and traditional media, the Kayserispor captain was benched during a FIFA international friendly game against Qatar by former head coach Charles Akonnor after an influential member of the squad asked the coach to bench him after the former Atletico Madrid midfielder confronted the player over his sloppy play.
After going close to a year without any contact from the Ghana FA, the Kayserispor captain has told Accra-based Adom FM that he was recently telephoned by Ghana FA’s Head of National Team.
“There has not been any official contact until Mr. Alex [Alex Asante] called me a couple of days ago. But we were unable to speak,” he told broadcast journalist Alex Kobina Stonne
He is currently the best Ghanaian offensive midfielder in any of Europe’s top 6 leagues per his numbers. Mensah has scored twice and assisted three times in five games for Kayserispor.
