Ghana boss Goran Stevanovic will meet Chelsea star Michael Essien soon to trash out a return to the national team the Black Stars. The Serbian is planning a meeting with the midfielder this weekend or first thing next week to convince the player he still has a major role to play in national team.<\/p>\n
Essien has not played for the Black Stars since a forty-five minute appearance at the 2010 Nations Cup. The GFA claimed he was set for a return to the Stars for the Nations Cup qualifier against Congo in March but asked by KickOffGhana.com on a recent visit to Accra if that March return date was still on, the player only said: “I have not said anything but I am still going to come back. Once I am fit and confident I will always come back.”<\/p>\n
Stevanovic though wants to sort that out quickly. He told KickOffGhana.com in an exclusive one-on-one chat that he will do everything possible to have him back in the side. “I will try, I will make everything possible to have Essien back in the team,” he said.<\/p>\n
He has now backed that with the planned trip to England later this week. Stevanovic has already drafted Sulley Muntatri back in the Ghana side after his continuous omission under ex-boss Milovan Rajevac.<\/p>\n
In addition to his Michael Essien mission, Rajevac will make the trip to Sunderland for a meeting with scorer Asamoah Gyan. The Sunderland striker is suspend for Ghana\u2019s next three competitive games but Stevanovic is keen to assure him he is still a major part of his plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
