Bologna midfielder Godfred Donsah wants to make the most of his first appearance in the Black Stars after two previous failed attempts.
The former Ghana U20 star earned two call-ups during Avram Grant's tenure but could not join his teammates because of injuries.
After consistent displays in the Serie A, Kwesi Appiah has decided to assess him as he build a squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
''It is very good because it serves as a justification,'' the 21-year-old remarked on his call-up.
''It is an important match as well even though we can't qualify, it's an important arena for us to showcase ourselves so I think it's a very good opportunity for me to do what I know best.''
Donsah has scored one goal in ten Serie A appearances this term
