Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has resumed full training with Arsenal as they put together forward of the brand new season.
Earlier on Wednesday, reports emerged that Partey would not be part of Arsenal’s squad that would be jetting off to America for a pre-season tour.
The Times and other UK tabloids reported that the 29-year-old would remain in London to build up his fitness, alongside teammates Bernd Leno and Folarin, as Mikel Arteta’s side departed for America.
However, a statement from Arsenal indicated that such reports were false, with Partey’s name included in the travelling squad.

Arsenal’s tour of America will begin with a game against Everton in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sunday.
The Gunners will then play against Orlando City in a friendly, before closing their tour of the US with another clash against Chelsea.
Arteta’s side will return to England to lock horns with Sevilla in the Emirates Cup on July 30, before opening up their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with an away game against Crystal Palace a week later.
Partey made 26 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions last season, scored two goals and provided one assist.
