Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey
Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey is expected to start in Arsenal’s midfield on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, when the team takes on PSG in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie.
The Black Stars’ midfield dynamo missed the first leg of the tie last Tuesday due to yellow card accumulation, as Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat to the French Ligue 1 side.
Now back from suspension, Thomas Partey is set to return to the starting eleven for the reverse fixture in Paris.
As emphasized by manager Mikel Arteta after the first-leg defeat, the former Atletico Madrid man is a key player for his team.
“He’s a starter for us. He’s the player who has played the most minutes in his position,” the Arsenal manager said.
Arteta also lamented Partey’s absence in the first leg of the semi-final clash against PSG.
“For the biggest game of the season, we didn’t have him [Thomas Partey], but Rice did a great job. Now we have him back, so we have more options,” Arteta added.
Wednesday’s clash between PSG and Arsenal is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m.
