Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is expected to miss the huge clash against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium tonight, football.london understands. The Ghana international has been integral to Mikel Arteta's team this season and his absence would be a huge blow.
Mikel Arteta revealed that he was facing no new injury concerns ahead of the match against City tonight in his pre-match press conference. It looks as though Partey will now miss the game, however, after picking up a suspected muscular injury.
Partey's absence is not thought to be serious but the lack of his presence in midfield could prove to be a huge blow to Arsenal's chances of picking up a win. January transfer signing Jorginho seems like the obvious option to replace Partey in the starting lineup and Arteta will hope the Italian can make a strong impact and help extend the Gunners lead at the top of the table to six points.
