Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah handed a call-up to captain Asamoah Gyan to shore up his attack for next month's double-header against Sierra Leone in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.
Gyan had been omitted from recent call-ups for international matches partly because of his injuries and tactical reasons.
But Appiah feels the experienced Kayserispor man has something to offer especially after his strikers failed to convert scoring chances in the defeat to Harambee Stars.
Gyan has been struggling for game time at club level but it is agreed that the country's all-time top scorer has not lost the act of goal scoring.
He will join 22 other players to prepare for the first leg in Kumasi on 11 October.
The Black Stars are determined to bounce back after this month ignominious 1-0 defeat to Kenya.
Black Stars squad to face Sierra Leone:
Goalkeepers: Richard Ofori, Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Felix Annan
Defenders: Andy Yiadom, John Boye, Harrison Afful, Jonathan Mensah, Daniel Amartey, Nicholas Opoku and Lumor Agbenyenu
Midfielders: Thomas Partey, Mubarak Wakaso, Afriyie Acquah, Christian Atsu, Bernard Mensah, Thomas Agyapong, Isaac Sackey and Kwadwo Asamoah.
Forwards: Asamoah Gyan, Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, Majeed Waris and Emmanuel Boateng.
