Chelsea manager Antonio Conte confident of Baba Rahman’s return before end of year

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says he is expecting Ghana defender Abdul Baba Rahman to make a return before the new year ends.

The 23-year-old suffered an interior cruciate ligament injury in January while on international duty with the Black Stars at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

However, Conte has revealed that the Ghanaian is just few months away from playing as he will be back before the year ends.

“We are hoping that he [Baba Rahman] would be back before the year ends,” Conte revealed.
