Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey will not be part of the Black Stars side to honour the World Cup 2022 qualifiers in September.
The midfielder who had earlier been named in the provisional squad has been ruled out of the September games due to him nursing an ankle injury suffered against Chelsea in Arsenal's pre-season friendly.
