"For sure he will be ready. We are very happy Thomas is with us for his football capacity, football ability and his presence as a human. He is a great player with a lot of experience. He has played for a lot of top clubs. We know he has a great level. I think he will get back to a top level. I am very happy he is with us in the team."
"Partey is back in north London a month after his appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Aug. 5 -- where he was charged with five counts of rape against two women as well as a charge of sexual assault against a third woman. He is due to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday. The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022 when he played for Arsenal."
Thomas Partey is expected to be available to play for Villarreal against Tottenham despite a scheduled Old Bailey appearance on rape and sexual assault charges. Partey was charged at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Aug. 5 with five counts of rape against two women and one count of sexual assault against a third; he denies the charges and says he welcomes the opportunity to clear his name. He was granted conditional bail, signed for Villarreal two days later, and faces the Old Bailey appearance the morning after the Champions League fixture. Marcelino said Partey is mentally and technically prepared and praised his experience, ability and presence as a human, while acknowledging possible hostility and emphasizing focus on the game.
