Bernard Mensah insists Gyan still has a role to play for Black Stars

Published on: 05 October 2018

Kayserispor midfielder Bernard Mensah says his club mate Asamoah Gyan still has a lot to offer the Black Stars despite his recent lack of game time.

Gyan has been included in the Ghana team for their upcoming Nations Cup qualifier despite seeing little action so far in the Turkish League.

His inclusion has been criticized by many but Bernard Mensah who has also made the Ghana squad for the first time in three years believes Gyan is not finished it.

"It is good he is returning, even if he is not playing regularly at club level," Mensah told KweséESPN of his Kayserispor teammate.

"He has too much experience, is too good in front of goal, and has so much to still offer. We saw in the last game against Kenya how many chances we created and couldn't take. Gyan will give us a good option going forward."

"The coach has to make his decisions, but everyone at the club knows Gyan is still a player you can rely on. I train with him every day and I know he has not lost the quality we need at the moment, which is scoring goals.

"He still applies himself greatly at training. I have seen him put in extra work at home, and he is a great influence around the club. He also cares deeply about Ghana, so he will arrive and give his best."

Ghana will face Sierra Leone at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on October 11.
