Thomas Partey missed Arsenal's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, and in truth, it remains to be seen if he will play any part in the top-four run-in.
The midfielder limped off against Crystal Palace on Monday night with a thigh problem and as reported by football.london and later confirmed by Gunners manager Mikel Arteta, it is similar to the one he picked up in last season's North London Derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur which sidelined him for six weeks.
If history is to repeat itself then Partey will be facing a race against the clock to be fit for Arsenal's final game of the season - at home to Everton on May 22, but it also means he would miss games against Chelsea and Manchester United later this month.
