The former Marseille forward has struggled to impress in the Black Stars shirt in recent times but bounced back for Le Havre in the French Ligue 1 scoring six goals in 20 games across all competitions with an assist.
His efforts saw the French side survive relegation threats finishing 15th.
However, Otto Addo seems to have moved on with more focus on youthful talents.
Notable absentees are Inaki Williams, Majeed Ashimeru Joseph Paintsil, Baba Iddrisu, and Nathaniel Adjei, Daniel Amartey, Denis Odoi who have been sidelined due to injury.
Meanwhile, Ghana will for the first time in 2024 see Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey back in the squad having last featured in October during the friendlies against the United States and Mexico. Baba Rahman after missing the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to focus on his development at Leicester City fully has also earned a place alongside POAK left-back Baba Rahman.
After gaining promotion to the English Premier League with Southampton, Kamaldeen Sulemana has also returned to the Black Stars squad.
Meanwhile, the only local-based players in the squad is Asante Kotoko’s Frederick Asare.
Ibrahim Sulemana as earlier reported by 3Sports has earned his maiden call-up with Dreams FC youngster Abdul Aziz Issah who has been in remarkable form for the Ghana FA Cup champions.
Ghana is set to face Mali on June 6 before taking on the Central African Republic four days later.
The squad will begin their training camp on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at the Legon Stadium, where they will train for six days before departing for the crucial encounter in Mali.
After the match in Mali, they will return to Kumasi, Ghana, to face the Central African Republic (CAR).
These games are vital for the Black Stars, who currently sit fourth in Group I, trailing Comoros, Mali, and Madagascar, who have six, four, and three points respectively.
The Black Stars started their campaign with a win against Madagascar but suffered a defeat against Comoros in their second game.
Otto Addo is therefore tasked to turn things around in the next matches having failed to win a game during the March friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda
