Thomas Partey Returns: Arsenal Midfielder Back in Action After Two-Month Injury Layoff

Thomas Partey, the Ghanaian international midfielder for Arsenal, is set to make a triumphant return to the pitch after a two-month hiatus. Partey, who last played for the Black Stars in October against Mexico and USA, suffered a hamstring injury, forcing him to the sidelines.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury, expressing that Partey would be out for ‘weeks.’ The 30-year-old has missed a total of 30 games across various competitions for Arsenal and was also absent during Ghana’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Comoros.

Initial concerns arose about Partey’s availability for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, but the midfielder has made a full recovery. He is anticipated to rejoin the action in the upcoming game against West Ham United.

Despite his injury setback, Partey remains a key figure, evident in his inclusion in Ghana’s 55-man provisional squad for the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast. Fans and teammates alike eagerly await his return to bolster both club and country on the footballing stage.
