Real Madird star Michael Essien on the verge of Ghana return?
Posted On Wednesday, 13th February 2013
Essien says he has fully regained his form at Real Madrid
Real Madrid star Michael Essien has signalled that he has regained his full fitness, meaning he is on the verge of returning for Ghana.
The ex-Chelsea midfielder asked to be excluded from Black Stars duties as he struggled on his return from two serious knee injuries.
His lack of fitness led to Chelsea sending him out of loan to Real Madrid where he seems to be regaining his form.
Now the midfielder Essien is happy with his progress on-loan at Real Madrid.
Essien, who is expected to see Champions League action tonight against Manchester United, says he is delighted over his progress since join Real Madrid.
“I couldn’t turn down this opportunity and I enjoy every minute. I want to work hard so that the team wins,” the Real Madrid star said.
“At the moment everything’s going very well. The months I’ve been here have been fantastic and I’ve loved my experiences so far.
“It’s all been excellent and I hope to be able to continue this way,” he said.
With Essien declaring himself fully fit, Ghana football authorities could be tempted to recall him for World Cup qualifiers from next month.
Essien is yet to set a date for his return to the Ghana fold after a three-year absence.
He last played for Ghana at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
With the Black Stars finishing disappointingly fourth in the just-ended Africa Cup of Nations, Essien’s return could help boost confidence in the squad.

I can’t wait to see Essien back in the Black stars.
He will bring some sanity to our midfield.
Essien didn’t last played for Ghana in the 2010 African cup of nations..i remember him playing along side KP Boateng in a qualifier for Ghana in Kumasi..A match in which KP was awful..that was his last match for Gh..
He did not. You mixed up you timing.
Essien played against Congo in Ghana!1
I think the guy is pieved. coz it’s like some Ghanaians doesn’t appreciate some of them and also I think the FA shld go back to the negleted old stars cos I can see most of them are pieved even Tonado Appiah of all ppl complaining meaning there’s a cause. But for ESSIEN I wish him injury free now and 4ever.
We need ESSIEN in our midfield as soon as possible.He brings alot of experience.
Yes he has played one match for the BS after 2010.

Please GSN would you please Stop talking about Michael Essien and the Black Stars for now before he get jinxed.
Nothing in this article states that he’s even considering playing for Ghana again, just speculation.. Until he declares himself that he’s back everything written about him is nothing but wishful thinking!
