Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed concern about Thomas Partey’s injury, stating that it appears to be serious and could keep him sidelined for weeks.
In a recent development, Arsenal’s head coach, Mikel Arteta, has voiced serious concerns regarding the injury sustained by midfielder Thomas Partey. The injury according to Arteta, is far from optimistic, with Partey expected to be sidelined for an extended period, potentially spanning several weeks.
This unsettling news comes on the heels of Partey’s conspicuous absence in Arsenal’s clash against Manchester United, where the Gunners triumphed with a scoreline of 3-1. Despite conceding an early goal to Marcus Rashford, Arsenal mounted a spirited comeback, featuring goals from Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Gabriel Jesus.
Partey’s injury, which ruled him out of the match against United, was officially confirmed by the Ghanaian Football Association over the weekend. Arteta, during his post-match interview, reluctantly addressed the issue, revealing the severity of the situation.
“I don’t know. Unfortunately, he got injured in training. It doesn’t look good. I believe he’ll be out for weeks,” stated Arteta.
With Thomas Partey’s absence in the midfield, Arsenal now faces the task of finding a suitable replacement. The Gunners will pin their hopes on the fitness and performance of players like Kai Havertz to fill the void in the heart of the park during this challenging period. Arsenal supporters will undoubtedly be anxiously awaiting further updates on Partey’s recovery as the club navigates through this injury setback.
