Arsenal include Partey in US tour squad | OneFootball

Thomas Partey has joined Arsenal teammates in the US.

Arsenal have named Partey in their tour squad, despite contrary reports.

Partey, 29, did not travel to Germany for the Gunners' 5-3 win over Nurnberg on Friday, one week after he returned from a thigh injury to take part in a friendly against Ipswich.

The Times says the Ghanaian midfielder had been omitted from their US tour and would instead remain at London Colney along with Bernd Leno and Folarin Balogun, where the trio will step up their fitness ahead of the new campaign.

However, Partey has since been named in Arsenal's 33-man squad alongside both Leno and Balogun, making the trip Stateside ahead of their outing against Everton in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sunday.
