Baba Rahman bounces back from collapsing to seal victory for PAOK

Black Stars defender Abdul Baba Rahman staged a remarkable return following his collapse a few weeks ago as he scored to power PAOK to victory on Sunday.

The former Chelsea defender bounced back triumphantly as his team secured a 2-0 win over Lamia in the Greek Super League.

In that unsettling incident, Rahman collided with an opponent, resulting in a momentary loss of consciousness and necessitating an ambulance trip to the hospital. Fortunately, his swift recovery defied expectations, allowing him to return to action sooner than anticipated.

Sunday’s match marked Rahman’s first game back since the incident, and his late goal secured three crucial points for PAOK, catapulting them to the top of the league table.

Rahman’s fourth goal of the season not only showcased his skill and determination but also made him the highest-scoring Ghanaian defender in Europe this season.

Beyond individual accolades, Rahman’s return is a relief for both himself and his teammates, particularly as they contend for the league trophy. PAOK now sit at the summit with 60 points after 26 games, underlining the impact of Rahman’s contribution.

Rahman was absent from the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations, as he took a break to regain full fitness, aiming to contribute at his best for his nation.
