John Mensah ruled out of Ghana matches

... Boye Handed late call up

John Mensah will miss Ghana's 2012 Africa Nations Cup qualifying against Swaziland on Friday evening with an injury.

The defender will not arrive for camping as he stays back at his base in France.

The Olympique Lyon player is also out of next Monday's international with Brazil at the Cravern Cottage in London.

Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has called up Rennes defender John Boye as a replacement for Mensah.

Ghana plays the Swazis at the Accra Sports Stadium in the penultimate Group I reverse fixture before turning their attentions to the friendly in London three days later.

The Black Stars sit top of Group I with a better goal advantage ahead of Sudan.
