John Mensah wants to fight to remain fit all the time
Ghana defender John Mensah wants to prove he is no injury-prone and wants to justify his stay at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is contemplating a permanent deal for the centre-back on-loan from Olympique Lyon but his fitness level is a prime concern.
Mensah’s playing times have been limited due to his constant returns to the treatment room but wants to change that.
“Sunderland know I have helped my nation and my previous clubs before, and they want me to play a lot for them. They know the kind of player I am,” said Mensah.
“I myself don’t feel happy at all when I’m injured because if someone likes you, you should show why. If you don’t play, it’s difficult for people to know why the manager wants you.
“I’m always confident but sometimes when I come back from injury it can be really difficult,” said Mensah.
“But if you continue to keep playing you can see the confidence come back. I have a lot of confidence wherever I go. We all know Sunderland have a good team and the good teams have a good bench as well. Everyone on the bench, everyone who plays, is a good player at Sunderland, so we have to make sure we are determined to win the matches.”
