CHELSEA LOAN BABA RAHMAN BACK TO SCHALKE.

The 23-year-old full-back will return to the Gelsenkirchen side a year after suffering a cruciate ligament injury

Chelsea have confirmed they have loaned left-back Baba Rahman back to Schalke until the end of last season.

The 23-year-old spent part of the 2016-17 campaign on loan at the German club and became a regular in the side, making 21 appearances until his season was cut short by a cruciate ligament tear while on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ghana.

Baba has not played since that upset in the first game of the competition in January 2017, but Chelsea and Schalke have confirmed he will make his return to senior football with another stint in the Bundesliga.
