Mikel Arteta provided brilliant news regarding Thomas Partey and his availability for the trip to Leicester City this weekend. The Ghanaian has been absent since the 3-1 defeat against Manchester City which he missed due to a tight back muscle.
Partey was also missing for the trip to Villa Park but Arsenal were emboldened by the January transfer window addition of Jorginho. It was the Italian’s strike from outside the box that would lead to Emi Martinez’s own goal to deservedly hand the Gunners all three points and top spot in the table.
Partey has without a doubt been one of the most important players for Arsenal in the past three seasons. However, he has been missing at critical moments like this season’s City clash and in the last campaign’s race for Champions League qualification.
