Anchors midfield effectively
Partey registered four tackles (four won), five clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against England.
Analysis: Partey anchored Ghana's midfield with an all-round display, winning six of eight ground duels while adding four tackles, two interceptions and five clearances. He completed 85 percent of his passes but made a mistake that led to a shot. He covered nearly 10 kilometers and relentlessly tracked Harry Kane for the entire game, which was crucial in securing the clean sheet for Ghana.
Granted US visa, available to play
Partey has been granted a visa to enter the United States and will be available for Ghana's World Cup fixture against England in Boston on Tuesday, according to Rob Draper of The Guardian.
Analysis: Partey had missed Ghana's opening match against Panama in Toronto after being denied entry into Canada, with Elisha Owusu starting in his place. His availability for the England clash gives coach Carlos Queiroz back one of his most experienced midfield options as Ghana look to build on their dramatic opening victory against the Three Lions.
