Thomas Partey excluded from Arsenal's squad for USA pre-season tour due to injury

Ghana international Thomas Partey will remain in England for a week to continue his recovery as Arsenal travel to the USA for pre-season.

Partey has been training with the Gunners weeks ago after reporting for preseason following a short break in Ghana. He was involved in Arsenal’s 3-3 stalemate against German outfit Nurnberg last week.

But the Black Stars midfielder has been left out of Arsenal’s travelling squad to the USA due to an injury.

The former Atletico Madrid star is expected to join his teammates in the USA next week together with Emile Smith Rowe.

The Premier League giants have decided to left the pair behind to recover fully before they join their teammates in the North American country.

Arsenal will face MLS All-Stars team at Audi Field, Washington D.C on Wednesday, July 19.

The Gunners are expected to play Manchester United in the MetLife Stadium on Saturday, July 22 in New Jersey before the wrap up their tour with a game against Barcelona on Wednesday, July 26 at SoFi Stadium.
