Black Stars defender, Abdul Baba Rahman revealed that he almost quit football due to a huge injury.
He had suffered a knee injury which needed an operation. It was his third knee injury and he thought about hanging up his boots.
“I went home after a scan that I thought was a minor injury, they called to say the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the other knee has gone,” Rahman tells Standard Sport.
“I just went to sleep after five minutes of this call. The third one was something I couldn’t take. It was tough, it was tough, it was tough…” he says, tailing off into his despair.
“I would like to thank Paco [Biosca], Thierry [Laurent], John [Fearn] and Stewart [Vaughan] at Chelsea. They were like angels to me. They gave me strength and always helped me to stay positive.
“At one point, I decided I had to quit football because of all the complications I had but they just gave me the confidence to keep going,” he said.
Baba Rahman played for Ghana during their 2-0 win over Switzerland in a friendly on Thursday.
