Thomas Partey endured a miserable Arsenal comeback after jetting back from Cameroon just 48 hours after Ghana were dumped out of the Africa Cup of Nations.
The midfielder was not expected to be back in north London in time to feature in their Carabao Cup second leg against Liverpool.
But, after his national side were dumped out earlier than expected, Partey was named on the bench against Liverpool just a few hours after landing back in England.
