Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed Thomas Partey has suffered a "significant" injury setback just days after delivering bad news about Kieran Tierney.
Tierney missed Monday's defeat at Crystal Palace with a knee issue, and Arteta said at the time he was "not positive" about the Scot playing a part during the run-in. The manager also spoke of a "big concern" over Ghana midfielder Partey, who left the field with 16 minutes remaining, and these fears appear to be well-founded.
Arteta delivered a rather cryptic assessment of Partey's issue as the Gunners prepare to host Brighton in the Premier League. Still, it's not good news ahead of a big few weeks for the London club.
