Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is expected to play on Tuesday when Ghana take on Nicaragua, despite suffering with an injury.
The 27 year-old has struggled with numerous injuries since joining from Atletico Madrid back in summer 2020, and has only been limited to four appearances so far this term.
While he still joined up with his international squad for the break, fears were intensified when he was forced to withdraw before kick-off against Brazil yesterday, but it has since been claimed that he was just feeling a little discomfort and he should be back in action come Tuesday.

A member of the Black Stars medical team has confirmed to me Partey's exclusion was only precautionary.

While this is supposed to be good news, hearing that he still has discomfort in his knee hardly fills me with confidence he will remain fit for our upcoming clashes with Tottenham and Liverpool, and hearing that he should be in action in the coming days for Ghana gives me mixed feelings altogether.
For now, we will hope for more good news from his upcoming fixture with Nicaragua, and hope he he can be ready when we need him.

That’s some comforting news indeed.
Odegaard is also in line to play for Norway later today. Another very good news.
We need our strongest Eleven against Spurs a week today
I hope he does not aggravate the knee while playing on Tuesday hopefully. We really need all our players fit for the next game.
There comes a moment, a seminal moment in the career of any older player -and PARTEY is now in his 30th year- when a club NEEDS TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY CANLIVE WITH HIS MANY INJURIES.
MA may well conclude that we can live withthem but many of we fans have serious doubts.
I am in no position to know best . But I CAN SEE THAT MANY OF US DO have real doubts. And right now, that is ALL I am saying.
