Thomas Partey is set to make his Arsenal return against Brentford on Sunday. The Ghanaian has reportedly returned to training and has been reintegrated with the group.
Having missed the 2-1 win over Fulham after pulling up with what has become a recurring thigh issue in training, Mikel Arteta was forced to use Mohamed Elneny, prior to his own injury, and then Albert Sambi Lokonga in his stead for the Arsenal midfield.
The drop-off in the quality of player without Partey in the team is significant. This is why Arsenal bought him, to have a top-class midfield option to progress them toward their goals, however, with such a poor history of injuries at the club this return could be crucial to deciding the club’s future in the position.
