  "account": "Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey has resumed training with Al Shabab following a lengthy injury absence. The 33-year-old Ghanaian suffered the injury during a Saudi Pro League match against Al Riyadh last month and has since been working on his recovery. Partey has ramped up his rehabilitation efforts, participating in rigorous training sessions under the watchful eye of Al Shabab's fitness coach. It is still uncertain if Partey will play in Al Shabab's upcoming match against Al-Ittihad on Wednesday, but his return to full training is a positive sign for the Black Stars. Ghana will kick off their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers campaign on September 24 with a Group C match against Côte d'Ivoire in Bouaké, followed by a home game against The Gambia three days later. As a key player in Ghana's midfield, Partey's fitness will be crucial in determining whether he earns a place in Carlos Queiroz's squad for the qualifiers. Ghana did not participate in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and is aiming to return to the continental tournament through the 2027 qualifying process.",
