Thomas Partey has been included in Ghana’s 28-man preliminary squad for the World Cup. Partey, who plays for Villarreal, has pleaded not guilty to seven charges of rape and one count of sexual assault tied to allegations by four women between 2020 and 2022. He is scheduled to stand trial next year. Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz selected Partey for a pre-World Cup training camp and a friendly against Wales in Cardiff on 2 June. The squad must be reduced to 26 players before the tournament. Antoine Semenyo and Brandon Thomas-Asante are also named, while Mohammed Kudus misses out due to a quad injury. Ghana opens Group L against Panama on 17 June.
"Joseph Anang, who plays for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic, is one of five goalkeepers in the squad. Tottenham winger Mohammed Kudus has missed out with the quad injury which has kept him out of action since January. Ghana begin their World Cup Group L campaign against Panama in Toronto on 17 June before they face England and Croatia in Foxborough and Philadelphia respectively."
