Arsenal suffer Thomas Partey blow as Ghana midfielder set for lengthy spell on the sidelines
Arsenal's impressive outing against Manchester United has been dampened by a big blow to super midfielder Thomas Partey.

With the 2023 AFCON set to start in January 2024, the midfielder is now a major doubt for Ghana as they look to claim their first title since 1982.
Partey a doubt for AFCON
Partey has been part of Ghana’s squads at the 2022 World Cup and 2021 AFCON and is among the leaders in the team, meaning his absence will be strongly felt by the Black Stars if he is unable to recover in time.
