Arsenal receive bad news ahead of their match against Leeds United

Arsenal fans may have received some worrying news ahead of their match against Leeds United on Saturday. It has been revealed that Thomas Partey, one of Arsenal’s best players this season, may have suffered an injury while on international duty with Ghana.

According to Goal.com, Partey is due to arrive at London Colney today for checks after suffering an injury issue for Ghana. The initial hope is that it’s nothing serious and that Ghana manager Chris Houghton did the right thing by leaving him out of their game against Angola last night.

Partey has been a key player for Arsenal this season since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in the summer. His performances in midfield have been instrumental in helping Arsenal climb to the top of the Premier League table with 69 points after 28 games.

However, Arsenal are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City, who have 61 points and a game in hand. This means that every point is crucial for Arsenal if they want to stay ahead in the title race.

Losing Partey to injury would be a huge blow for Arsenal as they enter a crucial stage of the season. The Ghanaian midfielder has been a rock in midfield and his absence could leave a big hole in Arteta’s team.

Arsenal will be hoping that Partey’s injury is not serious and that he will be available for their upcoming fixtures. However, if he is ruled out for any length of time, Arteta will need to find a way to cope without him.

In conclusion, losing Thomas Partey to injury would be a huge blow for Arsenal as they enter a crucial stage of the season. However, if he is fit and available, he will undoubtedly play a key role in helping Arsenal maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table.
