Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey will start at right-back position when Atletico Madrid take on Eibar in a La Liga clash this weekend. 

Partey, who featured in Black Stars shock defeat to Kenya last Saturday, is the only available player for the position after injuries to Juafran and Santiago Arias.

The 25-year-old is, however, no stranger to the position,  he excelled on a number of occasions in the makeshift role last season in the absence of Juafran, who had a longterm injury.

He churned out 33 appearances and netted 3 goals for Madrid-based outfit as they finished the season behind FC Barcelona in the LaLiga.

Partey has played in all three La Liga matches for Atleti this term.
