Djed Spence Refuses Handshake With Thomas Partey

Tensions rose during the pre-match protocol between England and Ghana as Djed Spence avoided shaking hands with Thomas Partey. While most English players greeted the Villarreal midfielder, Spence remained the only exception.

Partey, who is currently facing trial for multiple charges in London, was loudly booed by the home crowd. The English FA confirmed they did not issue specific instructions to players regarding the situation.
