Carlos Quieroz, Ghana's new national team coach, has confirmed he has no concerns selecting Thomas Partey for the World Cup despite the player's recent injury issues. The former Arsenal midfielder trained with the Black Stars squad as they prepare for their first matches under Quieroz, who took charge in April.

Manchester City's Antoine Semenyo joined his international teammates over the weekend, strengthening Ghana's options for the tournament. The Black Stars face England in Group L at the upcoming World Cup, with the 2010 quarter-finalists opening their campaign against Panama on June 17. Quieroz expressed excitement about leading the team, calling Ghana's football culture unique.

Quieroz brings extensive experience from his time managing Portugal and Real Madrid, plus his role as Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United. "The talent is here so it is an explosive combination to succeed," he stated about Ghana's prospects. Ghana's World Cup preparation continues with a clear focus on maximizing their squad's potential for a strong showing in Qatar.
