“When we were told Thomas Partey was ill, we asked for evidence from Arsenal. They sent an email and added their evidence, but we were still not sure whether to believe it or not, so we asked that they send Partey over so our own medical team could run assessments to determine if he was truly sick.”
“We got an email back from Arsenal saying that Thomas Partey feels uncomfortable traveling for that number of hours for assessment, so we should rethink our decision.”
“We had discussions again, and the technical team decided not to force him, because if he says he’s sick and you still force him and there is an issue, who would be blamed?” He said in the conversation.
