Schalke 04 manager Domenico Tedesco has confirmed the imminent departures of three of his stars including Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman.

The three players would in the future no longer participate in the training of professional squad, said coach Domenico Tedesco at the beginning of the preparation in Benidorm, Spain in front of journalists. Baba is already talking about his future. He had therefore been told that it makes little sense if he sticks to it.

"We did the same thing with Geisi, so Geisi will not be training with us anymore, but will be starting at U23," said Tedesco. Also Di Santo will not participate in the training of the professionals.

The Ghanaian has been o loan at the German club from English giants Chelsea.

He was expected to regain regular first-team action having returned from a protracted spell on the sidelines.

But things have not gone as planned as the former Augsburg man has struggled to play regularly at Schalke.

Rahman has now secured the permission of manager Tedesco to leave Schalke in January.

It is, however, unclear where the Ghana international will move to with clubs in England, Spain, Turkey, and Italy interested.
