Al Shabab, a Saudi Pro League club, has granted Thomas Partey special leave to travel to Ghana following the death of his father. The Ghana international's father, Jacob Partey, passed away last week after a brief illness. Al Shabab conveyed its sympathies to Thomas Partey and his family, hoping they find strength and patience in this trying time.
The 33-year-old joined Al Shabab on August 12 as part of his illustrious European football journey. Partey initially kicked off his senior career in Spain, representing Atlético Madrid and Villarreal before moving to England to play for Arsenal. He spent the previous season with Villarreal, featuring in 32 matches across all competitions but failed to score or provide an assist.
Al Shabab brought Partey on board to inject experience, physical strength, and technical prowess into their midfield as they aim to compete in the Saudi Pro League this season. His absence from the team is temporary, as Partey travels back to Ghana to mourn his father and offer support to his family during this challenging period.
