Chelsea's Baba Rahman joins Schalke on loan until end of 2018-19 season

Chelsea is shipping out Baba Rahman on another loan.

Baba returned to Germany on Monday, joining FC Schalke 04 on a loan deal until the end of the 2018-19 season. The Ghanaian left-back spent the first half of last season with the Royal Blues, but was unable to represent them after suffering a knee injury at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Baba was injured as Egypt beat Ghana 1-0 in the Africa Cup of Nations' group stage. The game marked his last appearance.

At Schalke, Baba will don No. 14, the number that he wore during his first spell with the Royal Blues.
