Ghana and Besiktas midfielder, Bernard Mensah, has indefinitely retired from the senior national team, the Black Stars.
The 26-year-old was part of the Ghana squad that played in the doubleheader friendly against Mali and Qatar which was staged in Turkey last month but did not receive a call up for the Afcon qualifiers against Sudan.
Mensah was, unfortunately, part of the seven players who tested positive for Covid-19 after the game.
The player announced on his Twitter account on Sunday afternoon stating that “I have decided to take a break from the national team until further notice.”
He featured in the game against Mali and was an unused substitute against Qatar.
