Ghana's national team has backed Thomas Partey after footage appeared to show England defender Djed Spence avoiding a pre-match handshake with the midfielder before Tuesday's World Cup match in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Spence kept one hand in his pocket as Partey passed during the customary pre-match introductions, according to videos shared on social media. The incident was not fully visible during the live television broadcast, with much of the discussion based on clips shared afterwards.
