Canada, one of the host countries, is not allowing Thomas Partey into the country, and he will not play in Ghana’s opener against Panama.
This was first reported by 'The Athletic' and confirmed by FIFA in a statement...
The statement
"FIFA can confirm that player Thomas Partey will not be able to travel from Ghana’s base camp in Boston, USA, to Canada for their opening match against Panama on Wednesday, June 17, as his visa application has been denied by the Canadian government.
FIFA is not involved in the immigration processes of the host countries, including the issuing of visas.
As with previous FIFA events, the host government ultimately determines who is granted a visa and admitted into the country."
