Ghana midfielder Partey, 32, was charged last month with five counts of rape against two women and a charge of sexual assault against a third woman. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2021 and 2022 when he was playing for Arsenal. Partey denies the charges with his lawyer Jenny Wiltshire adding he "welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name". He was granted conditional bail and two days later signed for Spanish side Villarreal, who finished fifth in La Liga last season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed complete confidence that the club followed appropriate processes regarding former midfielder Thomas Partey, who is facing serious legal allegations.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is actively looking to bolster his squad following a successful season, with an immediate goal of signing Arsenal's Thomas Partey.

Ousmane Dembélé will start on the bench for PSG in the Champions League semifinal against Arsenal due to a recent muscle injury, although he was pivotal in the first leg.

"Thomas Partey will miss the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain due to a suspension from accumulating three yellow cards in the Champions League this season."
