He emphasized that Partey’s next court date, originally scheduled for September 2, has been postponed, clearing the way for him to join the national team.

"Yes I spoke to the coach and he said he has spoken to the player first of all our support we have given him during this period is a good one. We have been with him through thick and thin just that somethings when you are doing it you don't do it in public," he told Peace FM.

So he can come and join the team to play on time this all some of the things we considered before the call up was done. We have confidence and trust that Thomas will come and join the team,"
