Thomas Partey has pulled out of the Ghana squad. The news is disappointing for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who has had some of his best players on international duty. The Gunners are next in action against Tottenham Hotspur, their fierce local rivals. Partey was one of the first names on the Arsenal team sheet ahead of this match.
Thomas Partey withdraws from Ghana squad
Thomas Partey has returned from international duty with an injury, which means he may miss the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur. The midfielder was named in the Ghana squad for their latest friendly against Brazil but withdrew before kick-off due to an injury. It is the third time this season that Partey has missed a game due to injury, and the reason is unclear. It is likely that the midfielder picked up the injury while training with the national team.
The Ghana Football Association has confirmed the party’s absence and said the midfielder will be assessed before the game against Nicaragua. As a result, he will not be available for the Tottenham Hotspur game this weekend. He also has other games to play in the coming weeks, including games against Leeds United and Liverpool, and a friendly against PSV Eindhoven. However, his absence could affect his Arsenal future.
Partey was due to start against Brazil but picked up an injury during the warm-up. He was replaced by Baba Idrissu, who was playing for Mallorca. Partey has had a number of injuries since joining Arsenal. The midfielder has missed a few matches this season due to knee problems.
Partey’s injury could hinder his performance at the North London derby. Tottenham are third in the table, and a win against the Gunners would give them the chance to leapfrog them. The last time they met, Partey was injured and the Gunners overran. With the party’s absence, Tottenham might have to depend on other players to fill his vacancy.
Granit Xhaka excels in Switzerland’s win over the Czech Republic
Granit Xhaka’s recent form has earned him the Player of the Month award at Arsenal, beating out Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. He played in every game for the Gunners during September, scoring four goals in eight league games. Granit Xhaka is the younger brother of Taulant Xhaka, who plays for Basel.
Switzerland’s win over the Czech Republic is a major win for the Swiss national team, who remain in the top tier of the Nations League with a victory. Granit Xhaka was the star player for Arsenal this season, making more assists and scoring more goals than at any point. His form has carried over to the international level. In this game, Granit Xhaka completed 84% of his passes, including five of his six long balls, and made four clearances, three interceptions, and ten recoveries.
The victory against the Czech Republic was Switzerland’s first in the Nations League this year, and Granit Xhaka was one of the main reasons. Granit Xhaka has four assists for Arsenal this season, and his recent form has helped his team go forward. Last week, Arsenal fans chanted Xhaka’s name over again.
Although Granit Xhaka has a hard time dividing fans and critics, he has been a consistent performer for Arsenal this season. His form has earned him the Player of the Month award for September.
Tomiyasu’s departure from Japan FA down to ‘club circumstances’
Tomiyasu, who has been linked with a return to Arsenal, has withdrawn from the Japan FA due to ‘club circumstances’. This decision is likely to make him unavailable for Arsenal’s final two fixtures in the Premier League, but it is unlikely to stop him playing for the club. Arsenal have been managing his fitness this season, and the Japan international should feature frequently in their October schedule.
Tomiyasu has been out with calf trouble since the summer, and his decision to withdraw from international duty could be related to his club situation. He did not travel with the Japan squad during the pre-season tour of the United States and has not started a Premier League game for the Gunners this season. Ben White has replaced him in the right back position.
Arsenal made enquiries for Tomiyasu in the summer, and he was the club’s first-choice right-back last summer. He joined from Bologna for PS16million. He made 21 Premier League appearances in his debut season, but was not quite as fit as he had hoped.
Thomas Partey’s return to training at Arsenal
Thomas Partey’s return to training with the first team could be imminent. The midfielder has been out of action for almost a month following a thigh injury picked up against Fulham. It is not yet clear whether he will be fit for Sunday’s match against Brentford. Earlier this week, the Frenchman took part in individual work, but it is now thought he will be able to take part in group work as well.
Thomas Partey’s return to training is a major boost for Arsenal. The midfielder has been sidelined since the 2-1 win against Fulham but has been given permission to fly home. After the injury, he had to pull out of international duty with Ghana after suffering a knee injury while warming up before the game. This means he will not be able to play in Ghana’s friendly match against Nicaragua.
Although his injury has delayed his return to full training, the club is confident that the midfielder will return to training this week. The London derby is on Sunday, so there is time to make him match fit. Partey is an important presence in the middle of the park and protects the Arsenal back line. He is also a vocal member of the Arsenal dressing room and his inclusion could boost Arsenal’s chances in this important match.
Thomas Partey’s return to training has been welcomed by the club and the fans. Although the midfielder will miss the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, he will be able to play against Brentford this weekend. The Ghanaian international is also due to play pre-World Cup friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua in September. Ghana is currently ranked 139th in the FIFA ranking.
Gunners’ midfield partnership with Granit Xhaka
Thomas Partey is expecting to start the Tottenham derby on Saturday but has been a doubt since the start of the season. The Ghana international has been a key part of the Gunners’ midfield partnership, and his recent form has been questioned by many. Despite this, he has been able to make a huge impact at the club and has even been given the captain’s armband.
Arsenal are now leading Tottenham 1-0, with Partey netting their opening goal. Partey played an attacking role for Arsenal and fed by Ben White to curl the ball in. Earlier in the match, Tottenham had equalized, but Tottenham had a better second half.
Arsenal have won seven games out of eight and sit four points clear of Manchester City. They play Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League on Thursday before hosting Liverpool in the Premier League on Oct. 9. Tottenham have two games remaining before the international break, one of them in the UEFA Champions League.
The game is now one of the biggest games in the Premier League and both teams are determined to win. Arsenal lost 3-0 to Tottenham at the end of last season and will want to avoid the same fate this time around. With the extra man, Arsenal have had more freedom to play and Xhaka has been a key part of their attack. Xhaka is a key part of that team and has done well in the Swiss national team’s recent win against the Czech Republic.
Tottenham’s injury problems
Tottenham have been hit with several injury problems ahead of the North London derby. Their midfield is almost bare without Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe. While part of the squad will be available to play, others will be out until the end of the season.
Tottenham have had several injury problems in recent weeks, as well as suspensions. The most recent game was a 3-0 loss to Brentford, and they were still missing Dejan Kulusevski and Lucas Moura, two of their key players. Although they have been missing for a few weeks now, they are hopeful that both players will be available for Sunday’s derby against Arsenal.
The two injuries have made it difficult for the Spurs to field a strong attack. Without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, Tottenham are left with just Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn as their main striker options. Despite their big squad, Tottenham could face a crisis ahead of this match.
Arsenal are also sweating over three players. With 11 players out for the derby, the Gunners could end up playing with just 12 men. However, Tottenham could jump ahead of the Gunners if they can win the game. A win would move them into fifth place, while Arsenal would move up to fourth place.
