Thomas Partey will play no part in Ghana’s first World Cup game in Toronto as he has been denied entry to Canada, sources have told The Athletic. Ghana are set to open their tournament at Toronto’s BMO Field against Panama on Wednesday, June 17 but sources familiar with the process, who are not authorised to discuss it publicly, have told The Athletic that Partey cannot travel to Canada and therefore will not be able to feature. The Canadian government website outlines that, “if you have committed or been convicted of a crime, you may not be allowed into Canada.” Partey has been charged, but is awaiting trial and has not been convicted. He denies the charges. More from @Dan_Sheldon_ 🔗 nyti.ms/49Vx4TE

“For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest.” USMNT star Christian Pulisic is on latest edition of GQ magazine. He knows people are excited about the World Cup, but he’s relaxed about it. “I get texts from my family and close friends—they're definitely all excited about it, for sure,” Pulisic said. “I mean, I feel like I’m constantly playing in big games. For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest. “A lot of people are trying to make it even more than it is. I get it, it’s a huge tournament [shrugs]. “I’m looking forward to it.” Let’s see if this relaxed attitude can ease pressure off of Pulisic and help him shine in the World Cup.
