Thomas Partey Injuries

'He felt something, so we didn't want to take any risks. I haven't spoken to the doctors yet, so they will check in now and see how he is.' '(Thomas) is available. He had a niggle in the game, that's why he had to come off, but he felt good after the last few days, so he's fine.'

'So, they’re probably not going to be fit for tomorrow and are a doubt. I still have 24 hours to make those decisions and hopefully the right ones.'

'We have monitored and kept a few away from certain activities, and after that meeting [this afternoon], we will decide if everyone is fit and available and who will start.'

'Thomas is unable to join the Black Stars due to medical issues he is currently experiencing, and his club has scheduled him for further tests in the coming days.'

'We don't know the extent of it; he has more scans today. He got it in training with the last kick of the ball.' 'He's got a muscle injury, and we are expecting him to be out for a few weeks. We don't really know the extent of it, and he has more tests today, but he picked up that injury in a training session with the last kick of the ball before Sevilla.' 'I think he will be out for weeks. I don't know how long. It's a big concern because when Thomas is fit and available, we see the results and impact he has on the team.' 'He's progressing really well; it was a significant injury. Hopefully, it's going to be weeks and not months, and he's working towards that.' 'Normally [Emile] is a quick healer, and Thomas is the same. We have to make sure that when they come back, they are at their best as well.' 'He's getting a very good evolution in the injury, but it's a bit early to get a timeframe. [Liverpool] would be incredibly fast if he's able to do that, so we're going to have to wait.' 'Thomas is still finalising his rehab. He still hasn't trained with the team yet.' 'Hopefully, it's weeks [until he's fit again]. How many weeks it will be will depend a little bit on how long the next step of training with the team will take him, but he's progressing well.' 'Thomas is not in the squad, no. It's what it is. He's a top player for us, really important, but at the moment he's not fit yet.' 'With Thomas, unfortunately, we had a little setback a few days ago, so he's not going to be available to be in the squad. Whether that's a matter of days or weeks, we'll see, but he had a little thing.' 'He is progressing really well, but it's a bit too soon to tell you exactly when we're going to have him back.' 'Thomas is progressing really well. I don't want to say too much but he's looking very good and he's on the field already.' 'We have another session today, and obviously, he's been out for many, many months now, and we need to really nail the timing and when he has enough in the tank to compete, but I think he's very close.' 'Thomas had a session before the last game and now he’s done two consecutive sessions so he should be part of the squad on Monday.'

'According to his club, the player picked up an injury in training and could be on the sidelines for a while.' 'He sustained a groin injury during training. He is currently unavailable as Club Doctors predict he's likely to be out for a couple of weeks.' 'Unfortunately, he got an injury in training, and it doesn't look good. We need some more tests; we believe he's going to be out for weeks. We think it's a groin, but it can be something in between.' 'He's been progressing really well in the last two weeks, and he managed to train the last two or three days with the team. That's great news for us, obviously. He has been very good in the past week.'

'Thomas has some small issues, a small injury issue, and we felt it was too big of a risk to start him.' 'Obviously, he wasn’t fit enough to play in the second [Ghana] game, but hopefully he’s going to be back for the weekend.'

'It's part of football. There are no excuses. We'll have to assess Thomas to see how bad it is. [It was] a very late, very, very late [fitness call].' 'We have to assess him today again. He had some discomfort, a little muscle discomfort. We have to assess him and see how he is.' 'There's a question mark on Thomas; he hasn't trained much, but he looks like he could be available. So. let's see how he trains today.'

'Yeah, he felt something, and we didn't want to take any risks, so he could not continue. He had some discomfort, and it was getting worse. Tomorrow, or the day after, it will have to be an MRI scan.' 'Let's see how he comes in [today] and if he's able to train [fully] or not. He's not ruled out, and it's not significant, but hopefully, he'll be fine.'

'Hopefully, Thomas will be healthy very, very soon. We didn't want to take that risk in a friendly game to play him against Brazil.'

'We still have to make another scan to see the length, but I don't think they will be available. It is similar [to last season] but hopefully not as bad.' 'He's going to be out for a while, but we don't know how long. Obviously, it's not the first injury that he's had in that area, so it's one for the doctors to put a timeline on.' 'With Thomas, hopefully, we are talking weeks or even shorter than that, I hope.'

"He’s progressing but he had a significant injury so we don’t expect him to make progress quickly enough to see him again this season."

"They played last night, it was a huge disappointment for Thomas. He's out now so he needs to be fully focused and involved with Arsenal as soon as possible."

"He could not play for the national team. Again, it's something we have to assess today because he hasn't done enough [preparation work]."

"Thomas is now back in full training and available for selection."

"Thomas is very close [to being available]. He's got a final test today and if he is feeling good he will be available."

"Thomas and Emile, and we will have to see how they evolve. We still have some days until the game so let’s see how they recover."

"Thomas now he’s been in full training for 4-5 days. It was a little bit rushed to try and play him for Newcastle but I think he will be ready for Thursday."

"He is really pushing every day, but he hasn't trained with the team yet so let's see if he can get a session or two and then assess him."
