Columbus Crew captain Jonathan Mensah has been handed a return call-up to the Black Stars after being named in a 30-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying double-header against South Africa and Ethiopia.

Mensah is one of the most experienced defenders available for selection after making 65 appearances for the Black Stars and scoring once.
