John Mensah will be eligible to play in Ghana’s final group game against Guinea, Caf has confirmed.
The Black Stars captain was sent off in the opening Group D win over Botswana at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
It was initially feared that the 29-year-old will be missing the remainder of Ghana’s group campaign but Caf says one of the two-match suspension has been served in the game against the Zebras.
It therefore means the Olympique Lyon defender is eligible to play in the final group game against Guinea on February 1st in Franceville.
Ghana currently leads Group D despite having the same number of points with Mali but are ahead on the alphabetical order rule.
