Ghana defender John Paintsil says he is ready to stage a comeback to the Black Stars now that he is playing regularly for his club.
The experienced right-back has put himself back in the mix for a national team call up ahead of the World Cup with his move to South African club Santos.
The former Fulham defender has been a regular first team player for his club since making his debut late last year.
Paintsil now says he is in good shape to challenge once more again for a Black Stars call up.
“Now that I am playing very regularly for my club I don’t think I will have any problem returning to the national team,†he told Metro FM.
“I have always played my heart out for my country and now that I have proved my fitness I am sure I will no problems at all if I am given the opportunity.â€
Paintsil remains one of the most experienced players in the Black Stars team having been consistent with the side for over a decade now.
