Reports: Dede Ayew and Thomas Partey to return to Black Stars as Partey leaves captaincy for Dede – Details
According to a report from Kessben Sports, Dede Ayew is poised to be reinstated as the captain of the national team, while Thomas Partey, despite his influential role, has decided not to assume the captaincy once again.
While Dede Ayew is reported to return as the captain of the Black Stars, Thomas Partey, one of the team’s most influential players also returns but, has decided not to take up the captaincy once again. Partey, who has been a key figure in the midfield for both Arsenal and the Black Stars, has consistently delivered standout performances in crucial matches. However, according to reports, the 30-year-old midfielder has chosen to focus solely on his playing role, preferring not to take on the captaincy responsibility at this time.
Partey’s decision not to assume the leadership role has raised some questions, but it has been met with understanding. The Arsenal star has been a calming influence in the middle of the park for Ghana and has a leadership role in his own right, even without the armband.
The Black Stars’ next challenge comes on March 17, 2025, when they face Chad in a crucial World Cup qualifier. Ghana is determined to secure all three points in the match to strengthen its position in the qualification standings for the 2026 World Cup.
With Dede Ayew likely to be back as captain and a squad full of talent, the Black Stars will look to put in a strong performance and inch closer to their goal of qualifying for the next World Cup.
The match against Chad is a must-win for Ghana, and the potential return of Ayew as captain, along with the continued leadership from Thomas Partey in the midfield, will play a pivotal role in ensuring the team’s success.
Coach Otto Addo will be relying on his senior players to guide the team through this crucial stage of the qualification campaign.
