Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is set to undergo an MRI scan this weekend to assess the severity of the rib injury he picked against Manchester City on Friday.
The Gunners were beaten 1-0 by their Premier League title rivals at the Etihad as Nathan Ake’s goal sent them out of the FA Cup in the fourth round. The result was made worse by an injury to Partey, who was forced from the field at half-time.
Partey was replaced by Albert Sambi Lokonga after sustaining a rib injury in the first half. Speaking in his post-match press conference, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta explained what happened and what the plan is. “Yeah he felt something and we didn’t want to take any risks so he could not continue,” he said.
