Thomas Partey will play no part in Ghana’s first World Cup game in Toronto as he has been denied entry to Canada, sources have told The Athletic.
Ghana are set to open their tournament at Toronto’s BMO Field against Panama on Wednesday, June 17 but sources familiar with the process, who are not authorised to discuss it publicly, have told The Athletic that Partey cannot travel to Canada and therefore will not be able to feature.
The Canadian government website outlines that, “if you have committed or been convicted of a crime, you may not be allowed into Canada.” Partey has been charged, but is awaiting trial and has not been convicted.
He denies the charges.

The Oilers are looking to trade Darnell Nurse as soon as possible, per @SportsnetSpec 👀
