Thomas Partey won’t be able to play in Sunday’s Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur, according to Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal.
An injury to his groin has kept the Gunners midfielder out of action since the match against Manchester United prior to the break.
Prior to the Spurs game, Arteta also has to worry about Gabriel Martinelli, who will undergo a late fitness test.
The 22-year-old missed the Champions League victory over PSV after sustaining a hamstring injury in last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Everton.
The Arsenal media team covered Arteta’s pre-game press conference on Friday.
The manager of the Gunners said, “With Gabi, we’re still evaluating him.
Consequently, let’s find out if he can make the game or not.”.
Thomas is undoubtedly out.
Yes, we still have two training sessions, but there were no significant issues in the middle of the week.
The rest, we hope, are available.”.
Partey is a “important” player for Arsenal, so it’s unfortunate but not entirely unexpected that he’s not fully recovered.
According to reports, the Ghanaian player might not return until October, possibly following the international break.
Martinelli’s absence would be a setback, but Leandro Trossard has been playing well for the Gunners lately.
As things stand, Arteta can still field a very strong team, and Arsenal will be confident about their chances against Spurs at the Emirates.
Spurs are also doing well right now, and Ange Postecoglou has made them a much more formidable opponent.
In light of this, Arsenal may face a very challenging opponent.
