Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has been playing despite struggling with persistent pain and has faced criticism over his recent performances for his club. Reports say the experienced international has been dealing with a significant injury that has affected his movement and overall effectiveness on the field. Sources close to the player confirm that he has been managing pubalgia, a chronic groin injury, for nearly two months, which has made it difficult for him to play at his usual standard without discomfort.
Because of this injury, Thomas Partey was absent from Ghana’s recent friendly matches against Japan and South Korea, as he was advised to focus on treatment and recovery instead of risking further damage by playing. Despite the pain, Partey has made himself available for selection at his club and continued to play through the season to support his team in a challenging period, choosing commitment to his squad over time on the sidelines.
Some critics, including his coach, have voiced concerns about Partey’s recent form on the pitch. These comments have sparked debate among fans and pundits, but many supporters point out that the injury issue helps explain why his performances have appeared below his usual level. Friends and associates of the player have defended his professionalism, insisting that his dedication has never been in question and that he has managed his condition with care while still contributing when possible.
As Partey continues his recovery, there is optimism that a fully fit version of the midfielder will regain his best form for both his club and the Ghana national team, the Black Stars. His experience and quality remain highly valued by teammates and fans alike as the season progresses.
