Published on: 21 January 2022

Ghana and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has publicly apologised for Liverpool's red card in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night and the early exit at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Partey, who was part of the Ghana team that suffered a painful exit at the AFCON was given his marching orders following two yellow cards in the final three minutes of the match.

The red card will see him miss this weekend's clash against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.

He wrote on his Instagram: "Am responsible for anything that happened and will take all the critiques, I should get more intelligent not to get in a challenge already booked but this is my personality, I like to fight for every ball."

"I love this club and love my country even though things don't happen how I wanted, I would continue to work harder and make things right.

"I came back with the mentality to make myself available for the team to get to the final but it did not happen as planned.

"I will continue to give my all when am on the field of play because this is my life and this is what I chose to do.

"Am not happy with all that happened yesterday at the AFCON but I understand only with hard work things will continue to work hard to change this. Thanks."
