Thomas Partey Arrives At Black Stars Camp With Arsenal Physio Ahead Of Friendlies

Ghana midfielder, Thomas Partey arrived at Black Stars camp with Arsenal’s physiotherapist, Simon Murphy, ahead of the international friendly games.

The West African country are preparing to take on Mexico and USA, scheduled for October 15 and 18.

And according to GhanaWeb, Simon Murphy is with Thomas Partey at the camp of the Black Stars.

Simon Murphy was dressed in Black Stars training gear as he observed and participated in the training session.

The Premier League side sent their physiotherapist to monitor Partey to ensure he doesn’t get injured while on international duty.

Partey, who is the deputy skipper for the Black Stars is expected to captain the team against Mexico and the USA in the absence of Andre Ayew.

Partey, 28, recently recovered from an injury after suffering a groin injury which kept him out for a month and some weeks.

He made a return in the Gunners’ 1-0 defeat against Manchester City at the Emirates.

As Partey is a key player for Arsenal this season, Mikel Arteta does not want to risk another injury to the Ghanaian player, as it could impact their performance in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Arsenal will face Chelsea after the international break in the Premier League and Arteta wants Partey to be fit for the match.

Simon Murphy’s first appearance with Partey in Ghana’s camp was back in March when the Black Stars were preparing to play against Angola in the 2023 AFCON Qualifiers.
