Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh update on the injury sustained by Thomas Partey following the north London derby. The Ghana international was recently out of action for five weeks with a thigh problem, but he managed to return to training in the lead-up to the Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
As such, Arteta chose to play him from the starting lineup against Jose Mourinho’s side and it proved a costly mistake as he suffered a recurrence of the same injury before the half-time whistle. The Gunners struggled over the course of the north London derby where they were beaten 2-0 and following the game, Arteta issued a worrying update on Partey’s fitness.
