He subsequently missed out on the 0-0 World Cup Qualifier against China that was played a few days later.

Kewell hasn’t played for his club Liverpool since they were knocked out in the FA Cup against Barnsley on February 16.
This will be the first time that Kewell, 29, will play in front of his home country since the World Cup playoff against Uruguay in 2005.

“I’m looking forward to getting back home as always because I don’t have a chance to do it more than a couple of times a year at best.”

This match against Ghana will be Pim Verbeek’s last chance to fine tune his starting lineup before Australia’s crucial World Cup Qualifiers against Iraq, Qatar and then finally China.
