Thomas Partey likely to play for Arsenal on Saturday after missing Ghana's game against Angola

The midfielder sat out the entire duration of Ghana’s 1-1 draw with Angola in Luanda on Monday, March 27, 2023.

Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton said after the game that the midfielder suffered a minor injury in the first leg of Ghana’s fixture with Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium.

“Thomas [Partey] has some small injury issues and we felt it was too big of a risk to start him,” the Ghana boss said.

However, a report by the standard.co.uk indicates that Partey is confident of featuring in Arsenal’s match against Leeds United.

According to the report, Partey will undergo a late fitness test to prove his availability for the game against Leeds at the Emirates Stadium.

Thomas Partey has been a key member of Arsenal’s run for the Premier League title with the Gunners ten games away from being league champions for the first time since the 2003/2004 season.

The midfielder has missed a number of games this season, notable among which was the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in February.
