Striker Asamoah Gyan has handed a massive boost to Ghana by revealing that he will return to the national team �very soon�.
The Al Ain attacker added that he will never turn his back on his country despite taking a temporary break from international duties.
Gyan, who quit the Black Stars on temporary basis following the backlash after the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in February, is meeting new Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah in the UAE.
Coach Appiah is seeking to convince the striker to return to the Black Stars ahead of the start of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana are severely depleted ahead of the matches in June against Zambia and Lesotho with several players injured or suspended.
Gyan has handed the Black Stars a massive boost insisting that he could make a quick return to the national team.
�I have to just psych myself up and go back strong to the team again,� Gyan said.
�It will be very soon. I never the quit the national team.
�The national team made me more famous than any club side. I became famous when I played in the World Cup.
�I can�t just ignore the national team (as) they made me who I am today.�
The former Sunderland striker made history in 2006 when scoring Ghana�s first goal at a World Cup finals, as the West Africans sunk the Czech Republic 2-0 in the German city Cologne.
Combining his goals at both the 2006 and 2010 finals, Gyan�s tally of four is only bettered by the record of legendary Cameroonian striker Roger Milla � who boasts five World Cup goals.
Africa�s qualifying competition for the 2014 World Cup begins in earnest next month, with Ghana contesting a group along with Sudan, Lesotho and new African champions Zambia.
The Zambians defeated Ghana in the semi-finals of this year�s Nations Cup, winning 1-0 as Gyan�s first-half penalty miss proved costly.
