Thomas Partey, the Black Stars' vice captain, will be eligible for Arsenal's match against Tottenham on Saturday, October 1, 2022, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Partey reportedly injured his knee during the international break, making him questionable for the North London derby.

Arteta, with a big smile, confirmed that Partey "is part of the team" when asked about the Ghanaian's availability for the game during his pre-match press conference.

The midfielder, who recently recovered from a thigh injury, was named in Ghana's starting line-up for their game against Brazil on September 23, 2022, but was withdrawn due to discomfort during warmups.

The 29-year-old was permitted to depart the Ghana camp in France for further evaluation in London.
