Arsenal have provided an update on the injury Thomas Partey sustained on Monday night during their 3-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Ghanaian pulled up and signalled to the Gunners bench that he needed to come off just before Wilfried Zaha led a palace counterattack that culminated in a penalty after Martin Odegaard brought down the Ivorian winger.
Zaha then got up to score the penalty and while the goal was a devastating blow for Mikel Arteta 's men in the race for the top four it appears that worse was still to come. football.london reported on Wednesday that Partey had suffered a thigh strain similar to the one he picked up during last season's North London Derby defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This was ratified by Arteta who claimed after the game on Monday that the early prognosis was not positive. “He felt something in the same area that he got injured previously, so big concern,” the Spaniard said. And now Arsenal have confirmed the extent of the Ghanaian's injury.
