Journalist Charles Watts broke the news that Partey will remain at Arsenal during the break to continue his recovery and conditioning.

Partey’s commitment to staying at Arsenal demonstrates his dedication to regaining full fitness and form for the remainder of the season. His absence from international duty allows him to work closely with the Arsenal medical and coaching staff to ensure his readiness for upcoming crucial fixtures in both the Premier League and possibly the UEFA Champions League.
