Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin has finally received the medical all-clear after a year-long battle with an ACL injury and is set to make his return to action.
Mumin, who has been on the sidelines since March 2025, makes the Rayo Vallecano bench as they take on Atletico Madrid in La Liga this afternoon.
The 26-year-old centre-back had been making steady progress in his recovery and was recently spotted in training with his teammates.
Coach Íñigo Pérez has expressed cautious optimism about Mumin’s return, prioritizing his full recovery over a quick comeback.
Mumin’s return is a huge boost for Rayo Vallecano, who are currently 17th in the La Liga table.
His experience and defensive prowess will be invaluable to the team as they look to secure points against Atletico Madrid.
