According to GhanaSoccer, Baba's future will be decided by the USA tour.

Interesting to see, I'm not sure I trust the source, but if it's true, we'll be in the market for a FB should Baba fail.

Looks like he's gone away for a year! Might be interesting to see if we sign anyone new

There is no word on signing anyone at the moment, which is worrying.

But I imagine we'll get someone.

Officially loaned.

"Chelsea manager Antonio Conte told me that he wants his team to be very defensive, but I am a rather offensive full-back. So I would have had very little playing time. Conte advised me to leave on loan. We will see what happens after this season."

"I already know Markus Weinzierl from my time at Augsburg and we worked together very well there. He always gave me a lot of confidence. That is one of the reasons why I think Schalke were the best option for me."

Interesting quotes from Baba

I think we've seen that Baba has shown his skill in going forward but he's been caught out too many times in defence so I trust Conte on this.

Won't be surprised if we sign someone else

Indeed. Baba apparently had a solid debut for Schalke, too. He is obviously a good player, but I don't think he is what we need in defence, at present.
