Michael Essien has been included in a provisional 30-man squad for Ghana ahead of the World Cup.
The Chelsea midfielder has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury during the African Cup of Nations in January.
Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has been keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old's rehabilitation and has named him in a squad for a training camp at the end of May.
Rajevac has also selected four players, including three goalkeepers, who play club football in Ghana.
Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has been called up despite previously playing for Germany at youth level, although his inclusion in the final World Cup party depends on a green light from Fifa.
Boateng's brother Jerome was named in a provisional Germany squad earlier this week and the two could play against each other at the World Cup.
Ghana open their Group D campaign against Serbia on 13 June before taking on Australia six days later and then Germany on 23rd June.
