Ghanaian international Baba Abdul Rahman made his long awaited return from injury for RCD Mallorca on Wednesday evening in their 1-0 win against lower tier side El Alamo in the Spanish Copa del Rey.

The 25-year old left back, who was out of action for three months made was handed a starting role and lasted the entire duration of the game.

Real Mallorca booked their place in the next stage of the competition courtesy of a 90th minute own goal from defender Abraham Contreras.

Baba Abdul Rahman’s return is a major boost for RCD Mallorca as the Laliga new boys kick start their quest for top flight survival.

Compatriots Lumor Agbenyenu and Iddrisu Baba Mohammed were rested for the weekend La liga game.
