Arsenal seem set to receive a huge injury boost regarding the fitness of Thomas Partey, if recent reports are to be believed. It comes after the Ghanaian midfielder suffered with a tight right thigh following victory over Fulham at the Emirates.
It's not the first time that the 29-year-old has suffered with problems when it comes to injury worries, having missed 14 competitive games for the Gunners last season and total of 33 since joining the club from Atletico Madrid in 2020. When asked about his absence, Mikel Arteta said: "With Thomas (Partey), hopefully we are talking weeks or even shorter than that, I hope."
While his injuries have been a problem in the past, this particular stint on the sidelines may only be further compounded by the loss of Mohamed Elneny. The Egyptian midfielder played as a backup option to Partey last season, impressing during his late campaign flurry of games and earning a one-year contract extension.
