This further underlines the fact he has regained his full fitness after a botched knee surgery and dispute with his former club Fenerbahce ruled him out action.
This is also massive boost for the midfielder and his country ahead of the 2010 World Cup to be held in South Africa which is just some few weeks away.
The former Juventus, Fenerbahce and Parma star was signed as a free agent by Bologna late last year.
The Ghanaian was previously released by the Turkish side in June 2008, but continued to feature for the Ghana national team.
