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.
