However, after winning the Greek Super League title with PAOK, Daara believes that Rahman's impressive performance warrants his inclusion in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana is scheduled to play against Mali on June 6 and Central African Republic on June 10, 2024.
Rahman's outstanding season, which included 44 matches, 6 goals, 4 assists, and 3,564 minutes of action, has made him an invaluable asset for the Black Stars.
His contributions were particularly evident in PAOK's victory over Aris, where he played a significant role in securing the Greek Super League title.
With his remarkable goal-scoring record, Rahman has established himself as one of the league's top-scoring defenders.
