Newcastle United winger Christian Atsu has returned to the Ghana squad for the final 2018 World Cup qualifier against Egypt next month.

The 25-year-old withdrew from the Black Stars squad for the penultimate qualifier and the international friendly against Uganda and Saudi Arabia respectively due to injury.

But the former Chelsea man is back in the fold after overcoming the setback to inspire the Magpies in the English Premier League.

Atsu has been named in a 23-man squad announced by Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah on Tuesday.

The Ghanaian has been brilliant for Newcastle United where he has featured significantly for the side.
