Like Mikel, Bernard Mensah hits out over non-cancellation of Turkish Super Lig

Kayserispor's Bernard Mensah has taken to social media to express his frustration at the Turkish Super Lig failing to go on suspension amid the coronavirus pandemic, much like his Nigerian counterpart John Obi Mikel did.

Mikel had been critical of the football body not calling the league to a halt like the bulk of Europe and the rest of the world did, as covid-19 spreads into more countries and is proving difficult to contain.

Rather, Turkey joined a handful of countries that were in action at the weekend.

Mikel was an unused substitute for Trabzonspor at the weekend and had his contract terminated by mutual consent on Tuesday, with a year still to run.
