Arsenal boss optimistic about Partey's return on Thursday

Published on: 12 January 2021

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has revealed that he expects Thomas Partey to be ready for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Thursday.

Partey suffered a thigh injury against Tottenham in early December and has been away since.

Recently, he returned to full training and has been training with his teammates on multiple occasions.

He missed the FA Cup match against Newcastle but the coach expects him to be available during the midweek.

“Thomas has been in full training for the last four or five days, he’s completely asymptomatic," Arteta stated.

"It would be a little bit rushed to try & play him against Newcastle but I think he will be ready for Thursday.”

Partey made the switch to Arsenal in the summer of 2020.
