Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has withdrawn from international duty with Ghana, having just returned from his injury.
The 30-year-old has had a tough campaign with the Gunners and he has made just seven appearances in all competitions so far.
A thigh issue kept him out of action between October and February and Partey is no longer a guaranteed starter when fit.
Despite this, the midfielder is determined to end the season on a high and he has opted against reporting for international duty.
Partey is prepared to build his fitness with the rest of the Gunners squad ahead of the restart after the March international break.
Arsena are currently top of the Premier League with 64 points, but they are only goal difference ahead of second-placed Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are one point behind them. The Gunners travel to the Etihad Stadium following the break.
It promises to be one of the most thrilling title challenges and Partey appears keen to be involved in the thick of things.
