Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Thomas Partey did not feature for Ghana in the second-leg meeting with Angola last Monday because he was not fit enough.

The young tactician revealed this at a pre-match press conference where he also opened up on why Thomas Partey carried a fitness coach along to international duty

“It’s something we’ve done in the past. We have a really good relationship with the Ghanaian federation, and we have to manage and look after our players. They’ve been really positive about it as well, we tried to help as much as possible - I think it works both ways.” Mikel Arteta shared as quoted on the website of Arsenal.

The Arsenal manager added, “Obviously, he wasn’t fit enough to play in the second game but hopefully he’s going to be back for the weekend.”

Arsenal this weekend will welcome Leeds United to Emirates Stadium for a clash in the English Premier League.

The game will kick off at 2 pm on Saturday, April 1.
