In preparation for the upcoming tournament starting in two weeks, the ex-Chelsea player found a spot in the 55-man provisional squad. However, Ghana coach Chris Hughton is set to narrow down his selection to 27 players, and it appears that Rahman, the former Chelsea player, has informed the technical team about his decision to skip the trip to Abidjan.

Despite boasting an impressive record of over fifty appearances for the national team and nearing the age of 30, Rahman is seemingly making room for newer talents. The article raises the question of whether Rahman will make a comeback to the team post the Africa Cup of Nations, considering his extensive experience in international tournaments.

Rahman’s last outing with the Black Stars was in September during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Central African Republic. Although uncertain about his future with the national team, Rahman has been showcasing outstanding form for Greek side PAOK since rejoining the club in the summer transfer window.
