Black Stars deputy captain Thomas Partey will return to action this week having fully recovered from injury.
Partey has played since early December when he suffered a thigh injury during Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
He returned to training before the end of the year, but Arsenal decided to allow him to be 100 per cent ready.
Ahead of the FA Cup victory against Newcastle over the weekend, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Partey will be available for the Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Thursday.
“Thomas has been in full training for the last four or five days, he’s completely asymptomatic,” Arteta said on Monday.
“It would be a little bit rushed to try and play him against Newcastle but I think he will be ready for Thursday,” he added.
