Baba Rahman starts from the bench

Ghana defender Baba Abdul Rahman has been brought back to Chelsea’s bench for the first time in two games after being named on the bench for this afternoon's clash against Sunderland.

The Ghana international will start this afternoon’s game against the Black Cats on the bench after missing out on their last two games.

The former Augsburg defender has been tipped to get a run out in the team now that Jose Mourinho has been sacked after making just three start for the charismatic Portuguese boss in the English Premier League.
