Chelsea fullback Abdul Rahman Baba is delighted to be fully fit at Schalke.

Baba is on-loan at Schalke after recovering from knee surgery.

He said, "After six months, the doctors told me that not everything would work out as planned. At that stage, I was worried about my career. I was afraid I would never be able to return to the team to do what I love.

"When I was back in London, Christian Heidel and Axel Schuster kept in touch with me and emphasised that they would like to see me back at Schalke."

Baba is on a season-long loan with S04.
