Ghana defender Samuel Mensah to start for Oestersunds FK against Arsenal in Europa

Published on: 15 February 2018

Ghana defender Samuel "Mensiro" Mensah is likely to make the starting line up of Swedish side Oestersund FK in the Europa league round of 32 game against English giants Arsenal. 

The former Right to Dream Academy player has been influential for the Swedish club this season, helping them reach the the last 32 stage.

Mensah was part of the team that managed results against European top sides Athletico Bilbao and Hertha Berlin. Managed by Graham Porter, Mensah is a key part of the English man team and will pick the Ghanaian for another starting berth.

Meanwhile, the competition has taken on greater significance for Arsenal as the season has progressed and their routes to continental football begin to dwindle.

The first leg will be played in Sweden and Samuel Mensah and his teammates will treat the game with so much importance, as the club plays the big game of the season in front of their fans.
