Chelsea defender Baba Rahman has re-joined Schalke 04 on an 18-month loan deal, reports Goal. The 23-year-old signed from FC Augsburg in 2015 but has made just 23 appearances in all competitions in the last two-and-a-half years.
Rahman has been on loan with Schalke since August 2016 and was due to return this summer. But the defender will now stay at the Veltins-Arena for another one-and-a-half years, meaning he won’t return to Chelsea until 2019.
The Ghanaian international, who boasts 26 caps for the national team, made 13 Bundesliga appearances for Schalke in 2016/17, before suffering a serious knee injury that cut his debut season.
