A tweet by Bleacher Report Football presenting some stars to expect at the 2022 World Cup has stirred up controversy.

On March 31, Bleacher Report Football shared an image with the caption "Excited to see these stars at the World Cup."

But social media users have faulted B/R Football for not including some players they believe have been phenomenal.

Top on the list is Ghana and Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey. "Where's Partey," they simply quizzed.

According to users, Partey is one of Africa's best midfielders and cannot be eliminated from the list of stars to be expected to display their prowess at Qatar.

On March 29, Partey's goal against Nigeria at Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja, helped Ghana secure a slot at the World Cup after William Troost-Ekong equalised for the Super Eagles.
