Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey was in action for Arsenal in their 5-1 win over Ipswich Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at London Colney on Saturday.

Partey made a return to pitch after missing the final five weeks of the 2021/22 season through injury he sustained in Arsenal's 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace at the beginning of April.

The 29-year-old lasted for 45 minutes as the Gunners cruised to a comfortable victory.

Ghana target Eddie Nketiah, who last month ended speculation over his future by signing a new long-term contract and was handed the iconic No14 shirt most famously worn by club legend Thierry Henry scored three goals inside 35 minutes and assisted a fourth for Sambi Lokonga in an action-packed first half at London Colney.

Folarin Balogun added a fifth goal after the break before Sone Aluko scored a consolation for Ipswich.

Arsenal will depart for Germany on Monday as their pre-season continues against Nurnberg on Friday, July 8.

Partey made 26 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions this season, scored two goals and provided one assist.
