Ghana's Baba Rahman is set to feature in the World Cup after a remarkable recovery from three knee operations.
What happened?
The 28-year-old left-back contemplated quitting football in 2019 but was helped by Chelsea's medical staff. Rahman has thanked Paco Bosca, Thierry Laurent, John Fearn, and Stewart Vaughan for their support.
Why it matters for Ghana
Rahman's return to fitness is a boost for Ghana ahead of the World Cup. He has been named in Otto Addo's 26-man squad and will hope to add to his 44 caps.
What comes next?
Rahman will face Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 as Ghana begins their campaign in Group H. He currently plays for Reading in the Championship on loan from Chelsea.
