Gideon Baah's first season with the New York Red Bulls did not go as hoped or expected. The Ghanaian's year was disrupted and ultimately derailed by injury, limiting him to just 10 appearances in all competitions for RBNY.
In an interview with Ghana's Starr FM, Baah provided a blunt assessment of his circumstances:
My career has suffered a major setback. It hasn’t been easy, lots of surgeries and all that.
Out of action since mid-summer with a broken tibia originally estimated to need four or five months to heal, the defender said he wasn't yet quite fit to play:
I am still under rehab and hope to return very soon.
