Ghanaians have expressed their shock over Thomas Partey's speedy recovery for Arsenal in the Premier League after missing two Black Stars matches.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta announced in his press conference on Friday, October 18, 2024, that Black Stars skipper Thomas Partey is fit to feature in the Gunners' game against Bournemouth.

Arteta revealed Partey's medical condition during a pre-match conference when he gave an update on the fitness of some of his injured players ahead of the game.

He stated that Partey "is fit and ready to play" when asked about the situation of the Ghanaian after he missed Ghana's games against Sudan during the international break.

While some Ghanaians are disappointed, Arsenal fans are excited about the news as they believe his availability is significant for their title charge.

Thomas Partey was pulled out of Ghana's squad after an email from Arsenal revealed that the player was unwell.

The player refused to fly to Ghana for further assessment and thus was replaced in the squad.
