Michael Essien is not quitting Ghana.
He will be back in a Ghana shirt this year - contrary to suggestions that he was retiring from international football, says the Daily Star Sunday.
Chelsea midfielder Essien, 28, has missed recent matches for his country through knee trouble but sat on the Ghana bench at Wembley last week to support his international team-mates.
Coach Goran Stevanovic is confident key player Essien remains committed to The Black Stars.
