Why Baba Rahman isn’t playing for Ghana against Angola

Social media users celebrated Baba Rahman’s inclusion in Ghana’s lineup for the doubleheader against Angola as if the Black Stars had won the World Cup.

As Ghanaians breathed a sigh of relief that Baba Rahman won’t be on the field when they see the Black Stars play Angola on March 23, there was a tsunami of joy on all social media platforms.

With his choice to bench Baba Rahman, who many feel was included in the squad because of his connections to key figures in Ghanaian football, Chris Hughton has received a lot of acclaim.

But, is Baba Rahman’s absence from the squad due to tactical considerations or is he simply not available for selection?

According to GhanaWeb checks, the left-absence back’s from the team is due to an injury, not Chris Hughton’s audacious decision or anything else.

Our research reveals that Baba Rahman hasn’t played since the middle of February; his most recent contest was a Championship encounter on February 14 versus Rotherham.

According to Reading’s website’s most recent update, Baba Rahman is out injured and not game-ready.
