Mensah makes return to training

Ghana defender John Mensah has returned to training following a month out with a hamstring injury.

The 25-year-old, who plays for French club Lyon, suffered a recurrence of the problem which plagued him last season, at the start of October.

Club coach Claude Puel:"John is back in training a little earlier than we thought which is great news.

"We are very happy with his progress and that owes a lot to his professionalism and hard work."

Mensah only managed four Ligue One appearances after joining Lyon in August due to hamstring and knee injuries.
