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.

@TonyEvans92a Hated him ?? What for ? The man won trophies and got us back to being a top European side. He also fought for the club and fans. I haven't come across one proper Red who hated him. Maybe you're privy to things I don't know about tho. 👍
BREAKING: Ben White could be out of the Champions League Final at the end of the month with a suspected ruptured vagina.
He will also be forced to cancel his spray tan appointment tomorrow. More to follow.
Many others including my self got in when we were in our 20/30’s. Absolutely ridiculous when the real
Big hitter sports have people with stellar careers get in when they are in their mid 40’s or 50’s. It should be something that is earned through decades of work and reputation. Don’t get me wrong I’m proud to be in it but it seems like a given if you have a half decent career, which it is not meant to be about that imo
