Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey has rejoined the Arsenal squad, marking a significant step in his recovery from injury. The 29-year-old, who has been sidelined since November 2023, participated in training with the Gunners on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
The announcement of Partey’s imminent return was made by Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, a few days ago.
Arteta assured fans that the midfielder’s condition was not severe, and his recovery had been swift following a setback at the end of January 2024.
The confirmation of Partey’s return to training aligns with Arteta’s earlier statement, indicating positive progress in the player’s rehabilitation.
Although there is no official announcement regarding Partey’s return to the playing field, his active involvement in training with the team suggests that it won’t be long before he is back in action.
This development is particularly timely as Arsenal prepares to face FC Porto on Wednesday, February 21, in the UEFA Champions League.
Partey’s absence from the pitch has been notable since November 2023, resulting from an injury that also forced him to miss the African Cup of Nations with the Black Stars of Ghana in Ivory Coast.
As the midfielder resumes training with his teammates, Arsenal fans eagerly anticipate his return to competitive play, providing a boost to the team’s midfield strength.
