Real blow to Ghana! Jonathan Mensah, the defender of Evian Thonon Gaillard is out for 6 weeks. This is what the club announced on social networks. Mensah was victim of a pain in the thigh last Saturday in the League and had to give up his position against the Girondins of Bordeaux (1-1).

It’s Kwesi Appiah, the Ghanaian coach who will worry. While the first leg of the 2014 World Cup playoffs against Egypt is approaching, he will have to do without the services of a major player in the defensive line.

The first leg match pitting the Black Stars to the Pharaohs takes place on October 15 in Kumasi.
