Both players missed Ghana's final two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and Niger but will be expected to rejoin the team for the World Cup qualifiers in March. Ghana will face Chad and Madagascar in their next international assignment.

Meanwhile, for the first time in 20 years, the four-time African champions failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Williams yet to convince Ghanaians

Despite his rich run of form for Athletic Bilbao, the 30-year-old forward is yet to convince Ghanaians whenever he wears the Black Stars jersey.

In 17 appearances for Ghana, Williams has netted only once for the Black Stars, per Trasfermarkt.

However, he has represented Ghana at both the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup.

Earlier this year, Williams went from AFCON disappointment to scoring in the Copa del Rey against Barcelona within 24 hours.
