Thomas Partey’s potential return to Arsenal’s lineup has given Mikel Arteta’s side a huge boost ahead of their Premier League clash against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night
The Ghanaian midfielder, who missed Arsenal’s dominant 5-2 victory over West Ham due to a muscle injury, was seen with the matchday squad, raising hopes that he has recovered in time to feature in the crucial encounter.
Reports suggest Partey’s injury, which prevented him from passing a late fitness test last week, was not serious, and his presence tonight could be a game-changer for the Gunners.
Partey’s recent form has been a standout for Arsenal, with the midfielder delivering some of his best performances for the club over the past month. His physicality, composure, and ability to control the midfield have been instrumental in Arsenal’s resurgence after a slow start to the season.
While Jorginho deputized admirably against West Ham, producing a professional display, the challenge posed by Manchester United demands Partey’s dynamism in midfield. Arteta will hope Partey’s return can bolster the team’s chances of maintaining their unbeaten run against the Red Devils, which spans over 822 days.
With Arsenal nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, every game is crucial for Arteta’s side as they aim to keep pace in the title race. Partey’s availability could be key in overcoming Manchester United and extending their winning streak to four games in all competitions.
