AC Milan star Kevin-Prince Boateng, Michael Essien, Andre and Jordan Ayew have all given the clearest indication that they will be available for selection against the Chipolopolo in September.
Boateng has reportedly rescinded his decision not to play for the Black Stars and will be available for the hugely-anticipated clash at the Baba Yara stadium.
The former Tottenham man shocked the West African nation when he called time on his international career after claiming combining both club and national duties was taken a serious toll on his health.
He has informed close family members that he will play against the chipolopolo if he is called up by coach Kwesi Appiah.
Michael Essien is also to set announce his return to the national team after a three-year absence while Andre and his youngster brother Jordan have expressed their willingness to soften their stance, prompting joy that they could make a quicker-than expected return to the team.
While there are many who believe the return of the quartet will serve as real boost to the team, critics are kicking against the move since they claim they could become distractive figures.
Legendary Ghana coach Emmanuel Kwesi Afranie has publicly rubbished calls for the return of the four experienced players as he fears it will serve as a recipe for disaster.
Ghana president John Dramani Mahama has confirmed he has intervened in persuading all aggrieved Black Stars players to return to the team.
