Meanwhile, the Daily Guide newspaper has quoted Kwesi Appiah as saying that he would recall former skipper John Mensah for the World Cup if the veteran is fit.
Nicknamed the Rock of Gibraltar in Ghana for his defensive solidity, Mensah’s career has been plagued by injuries.
He barely made it to the 2010 World Cup where treatment by a Serbian faith healer was believed to have helped him keep his fitness for much of the time.
Since then however his club and country career has suffered largely due to his recurring back problems.
