Otto Addo strengthens bond with Partey and Djiku ahead of World Cup qualifiers

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has personally visited Thomas Partey and Alexander Djiku to strengthen ties ahead of the 2025 World Cup qualifiers.

His visits come amid rumors of discord within the squad, with reports suggesting some senior players were unhappy with his leadership.

Partey, who missed recent qualifiers, was accused of faking an injury to avoid selection, causing friction with Addo.

Determined to restore unity, Addo traveled to Turkey and England, meeting Djiku and Partey, as well as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, to discuss Partey’s situation.

These efforts highlight Addo’s commitment to team cohesion as Ghana prepares for crucial matches against Chad and Madagascar in March.
