Partey suffered an injury before the season started and returned for a few minutes against Norwich City. Against Burnley, the Ghanaian was given the start but was not able to play full 90 minutes.
"He struggled at the end. He was cramping but that will come because he's missed a long time. He needs some fitness back," Mikel Arteta said after the 1-0 win over Burnley.
