AFCON 2023: ‘He would certainly be here without the injury’ – Chris Hughton on Partey

“I’ve spent a lot of this period of time with Thomas and also engaged the medical staff at Arsenal. They will treat this injury with caution, and so will the player. This is a big injury for him—the biggest injury he’s had.

“The most important thing for me as head coach is to give him the support he needs during this period of time. From all the information we’ve been given, the timelines of his recovery, and the caution that will be taken, [his recovery] will not meet our timelines for the AFCON.”

The Black Stars are pitched in Group B for the AFCON alongside Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
