Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been left out of the Ghana squad for their African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The midfielder is still fully recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained in April.

According to the Evening Standard, Partey was left out of the Ghana squad to ensure he does not suffer another injury in the area.

He is progressing in his recovery, but both club and country feel that a summer break and full pre-season will ensure Partey can regain 100 percent fitness.

Partey had been back in training with the Gunners before the Premier League ended, but was not match fit.
