Loses appeal

Partey lost his appeal against visa refusal into Canada, per Martyn Ziegler of The Times.

Analysis: Partey lost his appeal and will not be allowed into Canada for the opening match against Panama. Partey will likely be granted a visa into the United States for the second match of the group stage, but he remains out for the opener. Elisha Owusu is in line for the start against Panama with Partey not allowed in the country.

Ruled out of World Cup opener

Partey has been ruled out of Ghana's opening game against Panama after being denied entry to Canada, according to Dan Sheldon of The Athletic.

Analysis: Partey will be absent for Ghana's World Cup opener after his visa application was refused by the Canadian government, a significant blow that deprives the Black Stars of their most experienced midfielder. Elisha Owusu is among the candidates being considered as a possible replacement, while Partey could return for the second game as Ghana plays in the United States.
