Thomas Partey has declared himself fit and ready to face England on Tuesday, having missed Ghana's opening World Cup fixture after he was refused entry into Canada.

The midfielder was unable to feature in the Black Stars' first group-stage match due to the travel setback, leaving Ghana shorthanded for their tournament debut. Partey has now confirmed his availability for the high-profile encounter against England, signalling his intention to take part in what promises to be a demanding test for the West African side.

Ghana will be eager to make their presence felt at the World Cup, and Partey's return to the squad gives the Black Stars a significant boost as they look to recover from an opening match they were forced to navigate without one of their most experienced players.
