Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey says he is ready to return to action as Ghana prepare for a pivotal Group L meeting with England after missing their opening victory over Panama.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday at Gillette Stadium, where Ghana will look to build on their strong start to the group campaign.
Partey indicated he is now fully fit and eager to contribute as the Black Stars aim to strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
He said the squad remains in high spirits following their win over Panama and is focused on delivering another strong performance against one of the tournament’s most formidable sides.
While acknowledging England’s depth and quality, the midfielder stressed that Ghana are approaching the game with belief and unity, determined to compete at the highest level and continue earning respect on the global stage.
“For me, now I feel okay. I’m ready to play,” Partey said, underlining the team’s emphasis on collective effort over individual matchups, including the anticipated midfield battle with England’s Declan Rice.
He also highlighted the positive atmosphere within the camp, adding that the players are embracing the tournament experience while staying focused on performance and national pride.
Kick-off is set for 20:00 GMT, with Ghana aware that a positive result could significantly boost their chances of reaching the knockout stage.
Carlos Queiroz’s side will wrap up their Group L fixtures against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia, as they continue their push for a first World Cup knockout appearance since 2010.
