Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey is likely to be ruled out for several weeks, Mikel Arteta has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Ghanaian footballer suffered a serious injury in training days ago, and it does not look good at all.
Partey added that more tests will be carried out on the player for a clear timeframe to be communicated.
His words, “I don’t know. Unfortunately, he got an injury in training and it doesn’t look good, we need some more tests, we believe he’s going to be out for weeks. We think it’s a groin but can be something in between.”
WOW.
Thomas Teye Partey (born 13 June 1993) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder or right-back for Premier League club Arsenal and the Ghana national team.
Partey began his professional career at Spanish club Atlético Madrid in 2013, going on loan to Mallorca and Almería, and returned to Atlético in 2015, with whom he won the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup in 2018. In 2020, he joined Arsenal in a transfer worth £45 million (€50 million), becoming the most expensive Ghanaian player of all time.
In May 2016, Partey was called up for the first time to the Ghana national team by manager Avram Grant, ahead of a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Mauritius. He made his debut on 5 June, replacing Frank Acheampong for the final 11 minutes of a 2–0 away win that booked the Black Stars’ position in the finals.
On 5 September 2017, Partey scored his first international hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Congo in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.
