“I’ve not quit football; not now,” Mensah said on Agoo TV.
“After my time with Lyon, I went to Sweden but injuries did not allow me to play a match for them.
"I had to leave after the contract ended in November 2016, so I came back home.

“I have been undergoing some special training. I’m okay now but because I’ve been inactive, I’m not eager to return to the national team now.
“I cannot expect to be called while in this current state.
"I’m hoping to get back to club football abroad then we see what happens."
Mensah has featured for Swiss outfit Bellizona, Italian teams Genoa, Chievo Verona, Modena and Cremonese, French sides Lyon and Rennes and English club Sunderland at club level.
