In 18th, Real Mallorca had won two of their last four before the league was suspended, and will be hoping to return to a similar level of form, even if a home game against Barcelona on Saturday evening represents a particularly tough assignment.
There’s considerable Ghanaian interest at the club, with international full-backs Lumor Agbenyenu and Abdul Rahman Baba, as well as defensive midfielder Iddrisu Baba.
Chelsea loanee Rahman Baba moved to Spain desperate for a fresh start, but the injury nightmare that began at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations hasn’t ended.
He was ruled out for two months in September after suffering a partial team to the lateral ligament in his right knee, and will again be missing for the league’s resumption.
