Tomiyasu meanwhile is continuing to recover from a calf problems that have kept him out of action since January, and is not expected back in training until April 16.
Partey on the other sustained an injury during the loss at Selhurst Park. football.london reported that the Ghanaian had suffered a thigh strain similar to the one he picked up in last season's North London Derby defeat to Tottenham, and Arsenal put out a statement confirming this on Thursday. Partey is now set to be monitored continuously by experts for the next few weeks. Ahead of Saturday's crucial clash with Brighton Arteta has provided an update on the situations of all three.
