Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has provided an update about Ghana star Thomas Partey following a fresh injury blow.
Partey suffered his recent setback just before Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Sevilla last week and has since not featured for the club.
He was not in action when his side recorded a 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
Giving an update, Arteta disclosed the Ghana international will be out for weeks.
“I think he will be out for weeks – I don’t know how long but he’s got another appointment today and we will see more after that,” Arteta said in the pre-match presser.
“It is a big concern because when Thomas is fit and available and he’s been part of the team, we’ve seen the results and the impact that he had. This season we have more protection especially for that reason because we know in the last two seasons what has happened and the result it had on the team,” he continued.
“We had to address that and now it has happened. It can happen in football and I’m so sorry for him because I think he is doing every single thing he can do right to be there. He was gutted and we are for him, but he needs to lift himself up again with our support and go again because he’s a player that is critical for us.”
Partey’s season has been plagues by injuries missing a chunk of games for the Gunners.
