21-year-old Partey trained indoors in the gym, and is aiming to be 100 percent fit for this weekend's La Liga clash.

Thomas Teye Partey has taken to his Instagram page to post a video of him stepping up his recovery from a thigh injury.

The Ghanaian suffered an injury to his right thigh in training on Tuesday, but could feature this weekend as Atletico Madrid take on Bernard Mensah's Getafe in a Madrid derby match on Sunday.

Partey rose to prominence last month after fetching a late winner in his side’s 1-0 triumph over Levante in a substitute appearance, moving the Red and Whites atop La Liga table at the time.

Three days earlier, he assisted the first goal in a 2-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano in a Copa Del Rey fixture.

Partey has made eight league appearances so far this season.
