With a career plagued with a series of injuries, the thirty – four year old defender, often referred to as the rock of the Gibraltar, is convinced he can still contribute to football at the highest level.

“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."
