Ghana fans will have more than a passing interest in tonight's English Premiership meeting between Chelsea and Sunderland at the Stadium of Light with at least three Black Stars players available for selection.
Michael Essien is a sure bet for the Chelsea midfield while Ghana's lead striker Asamoah Gyan will in all certainty lead the line for the Black Cats as they look to do the double over the defending League champions.
Black Stars captain John Mensah is available for Sunderland but only returned after an injury induced absence since December. It is unlikely under the circumstances that he will be handed a starting role.
And as KickOffGhana.com reported last Sunday, new Sunderland loan signing Sulley Muntari will be unavailable as he works out the final paperwork relating to his move. His debut could come this weekend when they travel to Stoke City on Saturday.
Gyan was in blinding form in the corresponding game at Stanford Bridge and will be looking to add to his season's tally of seven at the Stadium of Light.
