Baba Rahman breaks silence on calls for him to return to the Black Stars

Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman has said he is willing to make himself available for selection for the Black Stars when he is healthy.

He noted that his decision not to play for the Black Stars was due to the injuries he was battling, which affected his performances at the club level.

The PAOK defender stressed that some Ghanaian football fans have been calling on him to return to the national team, which he appreciates and will do so at the appropriate time.

In an interview with the BBC, Baba Rahman clarified that he is open to re-joining the Black Stars since his injury situation has improved.

“It’s a personal decision to take a break (from Ghana) to concentrate on my fitness because I’ve not had a great time with injuries. When I joined PAOK last year, I just thought it was wise to stay away a bit from international football to get my fitness back.

“Fans are asking me all the time to come back to play for Ghana, but I think I need to take care of my health before everything right now. People know about my injury history, and it has really been a difficult few years. I just want to enjoy my club football again, and then I know my international career will take off again too,” he said.

Rahman is one of the experienced defenders in the Black Stars but has faced criticism for his inconsistent performances for the team.

The left-back last featured for his country in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Central African Republic (CAR) in Kumasi in September 2023.
