The versatility of Thomas Partey is expected to be tested again this weekend when Atlético Madrid take on Eibar in La Liga.

Diego Simeone will be without the injured first choice Juanfran and with Sime Vrsaljko still yet to be given a return date on his knee ligament injury.

The Argentine manager could thus be forced to field Ghanaian at right-back against the the Basque side.

The midfielder is no stranger to the position,  the 25 year old excelled on a number of occasions in the makeshift role last season.

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