Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an injury update on Ghana star Thomas Partey.
The midfielder was not in action when Arsenal suffered defeat to Manchester City in the English Premier League on Wednesday night.
The Ghana international reportedly suffered a muscle and had to pull out of the match.
The Gunners lost 3-1 as Partey watched from the stands.
"We don’t know. It’s what happens - it’s part of football. There are no excuses. I think Jorgi played a really good game and we’ll have to assess Thomas to see how bad it is," said Arteta.
"Very late, very, very late," added Arteta on when they found out about Partey's injury.
The 29-year-old is likely to miss the trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.
