Ghana's star midfielder Thomas Partey has been dealt a significant blow ahead of the Black Stars' crucial World Cup opener against Panama on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Arsenal player is set to miss his team's first match in the tournament due to visa issues, leaving Ghana's coach Otto Addo with a major headache. Partey's absence will be a significant loss for the African side, who are looking to make a strong impression in the group stage. With the midfielder's experience and skill on the pitch, Ghana's chances of securing a positive result against Panama may be severely impacted.
