Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Thomas Partey will be subjected to another scan to know the extent of his injury.
The Ghana deputy captain was out of Gunners home win against Fulham over the weekend after he injured his thigh in training.
The former Atletico Madrid star is set to miss another match on Wednesday alongside Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is nursing a knee problem.
"I don't think [the duo will recover in time to play Aston Villa on Wednesday]," Arteta confirmed to the club's website ahead of the fixture.
"We still have to make another scan, especially on Thomas [Partey], to see the length but I do not think they will be available.
"It is a similar area [to the one that kept Partey out last season], but hopefully not as bad," he added.
Last season - on April 4, the 29-year-old injured his thigh at Selhurst Park in a 3-0 loss against Crystal Palace.
The 28-year-old went on to miss the rest of the season and his absence was felt by the Gunners who went on to miss out on the Champions League places.
It is not clear for how long Partey will be out, but he will certainly miss a crunch Premier League tie at Old Trafford against Manchester United this weekend.
