Ghana international Baba Abdul Rahman is in good condition after collapsing during a Greek Cup semifinal game between Panathinaikos and PAOK on Wednesday night.
The Black Stars defender fainted after colliding with an opponent in the highly anticipated match.
The incident took place in the 115th minute of the game, which had entered extra time after a tie in regular time.
Baba Rahman received immediate medical attention on the field and soon regained consciousness.
“Hello, just wanted to thank everyone for their concern and well wishes in the last 12 or so hours. Thankfully I’m recovering well and scans have shown no major damage,” he wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.
“I’d like to also say a big thank you to Georgios Vagiannidis for personally checking in on me at the hospital. It was a tough night but I’d be back running up and down again soon”
Panathinaikos ultimately emerged victorious in the shootout, securing their spot in the Greek Cup final with a 6-5 win on penalties.
Baba Rahman has been a crucial player for PAOK FC since permanently joining the team last summer after leaving Chelsea.
Throughout the current season, he has contributed three goals and two assists in 18 league matches for the Black and White lads.
