FORGOTTEN Chelsea defender Abdul Rahman Baba could be left in no mans land as his Real Mallorca loan expires on the same day as his Chelsea contract.

The Ghanaian signed for the Blues back in 2015 but has made just 23 appearances for the West Londoners – the last on May 15, 2016.

The 25-year-old has been loaned out four times since including two spells with Schalke, one with French side Reims and the latest with Real Mallorca.

Despite having played just three times for the LaLiga side this season the Spanish club will contact Chelsea for permission to extend the deal to the end of the rescheduled Spanish season, according to Ghanaian outlet SoccerNet.

Rahman’s loan deal expires on June 30 – the same day as his Chelsea contract – but the LaLiga campaign kicks off again today with Mallorca not playing until they host Barcelona on Saturday.

The Spanish season is set to finish on July 19 meaning Mallorca will have to agree an extension with Chelsea to June 30 then come to a separate agreement with Rahman if they want to extend after that date if the Blues don’t.

However, Rahman will likely be looking for a new club by then which could be difficult considering his lack of game time this season.

Rahman bagged two assists during his 23 games with the Blues but is unlikely to have a future at the Bridge.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are being taken to the High Court by ex-players who claim the suffered racist abuse during their time at the club.

And the Blues are still looking for a left-back with Leicester’s Ben Chilwell their number one target.
