During the match, many Ghanaians wondered why Hughton made such a decision, leaving the Arsenal star out of the team’s starting lineup.

However, Hughton addressed the matter during the post-match press conference, stating that Partey had a minor injury issue that posed a significant risk to his participation.

“Thomas has a small injury issue & we felt it was too big of a risk to start him,” the Black Stars head coach explained.

Despite Partey’s absence, Ghana secured a 1-1 draw against Angola, allowing the team to maintain their lead in Group E’s standings in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
