Ghana and Arsenal Thomas Partey has dropped an injury return hint ahead of Leeds and Tottenham clashes.
The 28-year-old hinted on his personal Twitter account that he could make his return from injury "soon".
Partey has been on sidelines for the Gunners after aggravating his right thigh injury in the 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace at the beginning of April.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta confirmed it is highly unlikely that the Ghanaian will play again this season before suggesting in recent days that Partey was progressing well in his recovery.
Following Arsenal's 2-1 win at West Ham United on Sunday, the North London club posted a video of Gabriel's goal scored at the London Stadium on its official Twitter account.
Partey then responded to the tweet on Monday with: "Tom X Tom soon," with this possibly suggesting a link up with Arsenal full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu again in the coming weeks.
Should Partey have made a quicker recovery than expected, he could feature in Arsenal's next game against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Partey has made 26 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions this season, scored two goals and provided one assist.
