Thomas Partey named in Arsenal squad for USA pre-season tour

-

Ghana midfielder, Thomas Partey, has been named in Arsenal’s squad for a pre-season tour of the United States of America (USA).

An earlier report on Wednesday suggested that the 28-year-old has been left out of the Gunners’ squad.

It will be recalled that Partey missed out on a recent trip to Germany by Arsenal, fuelling speculation about his unexplained absence from the squad.

The former Atletico Madrid enforcer had played in Arsenal’s first pre-season game of the season, a 5-1 victory over Ipswich at the start of July before missing out on a 5-3 win against FC Nurnberg last week.
