John Mensah passed fit to return

Ghana captain John Mensah has been declared fit to return to action by his doctors, MTNFootball.com understands.

The centre-back has been in the treatment room since February when he picked up a thigh injury at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.


Mensah has been linked with a host of clubs including his former side Rennes and Turkish duo Fenerbahce and Bursaspor.


Clubs in the United Arabs Emirates are also interested in signing him on.

He terminated his contract with French side Olympique Lyon due to the lack of playing time.


Mensah could be named in Ghana's squad to face China in a friendly on August 15 to be played at Xi’an's Shaanxi Shangshi Chengkai Stadium.
