After missing the 4-1 thrashing against Japan due to illness, Baba Rahman returned to the Black Stars squad against Chile and showed why he is Ghana's first-choice left-back.
Chelsea's defense was fantastic. When the Chileans attacked, they targeted his team, but Rahman was up to the task. He made sure that the Chileans were not happy.
He has exceptional game reading skills and has made several timely interventions. Despite Chile's intense press, Rahman remained composed on the ball and made good use of his experience.
Rahman got 76 touches and played the full game. With a score of 38/52, he received a 73 percent for accurate passes.Two of the four dribbles he attempted were accomplished by the 27-year-old. Three interceptions and three recoveries were also made by him. On Tuesday, he was undoubtedly one of Ghana's top performers against the Americans. Goalkeeper Manaf Nurudeen produced two outstanding saves in the shootout as Ghana won the game on penalties.
Rahman made his 45th appearance for Ghana on Tuesday. In 2014, he made his debut.Rahman's outstanding performance demonstrates that he is still the greatest left-back option in the country.
He is anticipated to be included in the Black Stars' 2022 World Cup roster, which will be held in Qatar later this year. Rahman lost out on a spot in the 2014 World Cup by a whisker. He was on the preliminary team, but Kwesi Appiah chose not to send him to Brazil to represent Ghana.Now that the international break is over, Rahman will make a crucial decision about his future at Chelsea. His contract with the Blues is up for renewal in two years.
According to Ghanasoccernet, Middlesbrough, Reading, PAOK FC, and Augsburg have all approached Chelsea about signing Rahman.
