Thomas Partey on the path of recovery as he starts training

 Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Teye Partey is on the path of full recovery after going out of football for more than a month through a recurring injury.

The 30-year-old has started training at the gym to physically prepare and usher him into full football action in the coming days.

It is unclear as to when Partey will gain full fitness and ready for matches even though he is seen to have returned to training. 

The former Atletico Madrid midfielder has had little minutes with Arsenal this season having had an impeccable start to the season which was blighted by a knee injury. 

His coming back will mean an "additional signing" to Arsenal who are bent on salvaging a better outcome at the end of the 2023-24 season in the English Premier League after narrowingly losing it to Manchester City last season.

His regular injury scare has not only been a cause for worry for Arsenal but also for Ghana as she started her 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on a doubtful path and will need his contribution in subsequent games. 

As Ghana prepares for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Ivory Coast in January, his presence will give quality to the Black Stars in her quest to breaking the 42 year jinx.
