Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has included Ghanaian youth midfielder Thomas Partey in his squad to face Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday. 

The Argentine gaffer welcomes the 22-year-old back into his squad after he recovered from an injury he suffered during pre-season.

Partey missed Atletico's opening narrow win over Las Palmas but is back in the squad and trained with Vicente Calderon giants all week and manager Simeone has included him in his squad.

The former Tema Youth midfielder featured prominently in Simeone's pre-season plans and is widely expected to get a break through at Atletico Madrid this season following his brilliant exploits with Almeria as a loanee last term.

He trained with Ghana's 2013 U20 squad but head coach Sellas Tetteh deemed him below standard.
