Partey set to feature in 2025/26 Premier League card set despite legal case

The decision was made before the Ghanaian midfielder's contract with the club expired in June. Clubs were given until May to submit their final list of players to be included in the collection, and Arsenal signed off on Partey's participation ahead of the deadline.

The cards are scheduled for release next month and will include a range of players from across the league.

Since then, Partey has been charged with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He has denied all allegations. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and no trial date has yet been set.

It remains unclear whether any steps will be taken to revise or withdraw his inclusion from the set following the charges. The Premier League and the card manufacturer have yet to issue an official comment on the matter.
