Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh update on Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus ahead of the Premier League clash against Leicester City this weekend. The Gunners head into the fixture at the top of the table, leading Manchester City by two points.
Arteta has not been able to select Partey for the last two fixtures against City and Aston Villa due to the midfielder suffering a muscle injury earlier last week. Jesus has not played for Arsenal since the Premier League resumed following the World Cup after sustaining a knee injury whilst away with Brazil in Qatar.
Eddie Nketiah has proved to be a capable replacement in the team for the Brazilian striker who is set to return in March. January signing Jorginho has filled the void left by Partey's absence, but the Ghanaian midfielder's return would be a welcome boost for Arteta as Arsenal prepare for a difficult test against Leicester this weekend.
