Black Stars deputy captain, Thomas Partey is fit for Ghana's pre-World Cup friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua this month.

The 28 year old midfielder has been out of action for a month after sustaining an injury at training grounds.

However, the former Athletico Madrid middle man made a return to the Arsenal squad over the weekend in the win against Brentford as the Gunners maintained their lead at the top of the summit.

With the Black Stars set to assemble today in France, Partey is expected to join the playing ahead of the games.

Ghana will take on Brazil on Friday at Le Havre at 20:00GMT.

Four days after the Brazil game, the Stars would take on Nicaragua in Spain to wrap up activities for September.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Tetteh is expected to be out of the game due to an injury.

Ghana will also play Switzerland in Doha in November before the start of the Mundial which starts on November 19.

The Stars are paired with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay in Group H, while Brazil sits in Group G alongside Switzerland, Cameroon, and Serbia.
