Ghana defender Baba Rahman expressed his joy at returning to the pitch after a month-long injury hiatus.

The left-back, a key asset for PAOK, played a role in their 4-2 victory over HJK, securing the Greek side's progression as group leaders to the knockout stage of the Europa Conference League.

Taking to Twitter, Rahman shared his enthusiasm, stating, "Feels good to be playing at the Toumba Stadium again."

His comeback marked a notable moment for the player, who had been sidelined since the second week of November, missing PAOK's last four games.

Before the injury setback, Rahman showcased excellent form, making 17 appearances across all competitions for PAOK this season.
