Black Stars defender Jonathan Mensah crushed out of the Coup De France with a home defeat to AS Monaco.
The 25 year old saw full action in the marathon cup tie as Monaco progressed with late goals in extra time.
Jonathan Mensah has been crocked by a recurring injury picked with the national side since the commencement of the 2015/16 season.
Evian Thonon collapsed very late into the tie as Monaco won 1-3 in the last 16 tie of the domestic cup.
The former Udinese centre was reinstated into the starting berth after his surprised substitution in the league match upon his injury return.
The composed defender however churned out impressive display at the back for the Ligue II side despite exiting the tourney in front of their teaming fans.
Ivorian giant striker Lacine Traore opened the scoring for Monaco on the stroke of full time before Morgan Karmin drew parity for the second tier side 3 minutes into the hour mark.
A boggy last 30 minutes failed to separte the sides before late goals in extra time from Mario Pasalic and Helder Costa won the ticket for the 2004 European Champions league finalist.
Mensah was slapped with a four month ban from FIFA after spotting irregularities in his transfer from Udinese to Evian Thonon Gillard.
