Thomas Partey is set to play for Arsenal this weekend after recovering from the illness that sidelined him during Ghana's recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.The midfielder remained in London due to illness, missing the Black Stars' games against Sudan.Although Ghana wanted Partey to travel for an assessment of his condition following Arsenal's communication, the player chose not to, feeling "uncomfortable" travelling at the time.Now fully recovered, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed his availability for the Premier League clash against Bournemouth."Thomas Partey is fit and ready.
As for Gabriel Martinelli and Havertz, we will decide today," Arteta said. "Ben White, Timber, and Zinchenko are quite close, and we hope for some positive news."Partey's absence was noticeable for Ghana, who drew 0-0 with Sudan in Accra before suffering a 2-0 defeat in Libya, placing their AFCON 2025 qualification hopes in jeopardy.In his absence, Mohammed Kudus captained the side and later issued an apology on behalf of the team for the disappointing results during the October international break.
