Plays full game
Mensah generated five tackles (three won), nine clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus England.
Analysis: Mensah was one of Ghana's standout performers and registered nine clearances, five tackles and two interceptions while winning seven ground duels. He covered nearly nine kilometers and dealt effectively with England's wide attacks, playing a major role in Ghana's clean sheet.
Set for leading role
Mensah is expected to play as big role for Ghana at the World Cup, as the top choice at left wing-back.
Analysis: Mensah only got a single appearance at the 2022 World Cup, but he should be in line for a much larger role this time around. He produced two assists for Auxerre in league play this season, but will likely be tasked with defensive duties chiefly with Ghana. That said the attack in front of him has plenty of talent, so on the occasions he can get forward he should have the chance to contribute.
