Arsenal defensive midfielder Thomas Partey did not practice with his colleagues in London Colney today

According to The Daily Express’s Ryan Taylor on Twitter, Arsenal defensive midfielder Thomas Partey did not practice with his colleagues in London Colney today. According to Taylor, Arsenal player Partey was absent from London Colney today due to a muscular issue.

The journalist claims that the former Atletico Madrid player will continue to be evaluated by medical professionals. The defensive midfielder earning £200,000 per week (The Sun) has been out for quite some time and did not play against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League last weekend.

This next Saturday, Arsenal will travel to Leicester City’s King Power Stadium to take on the Foxes in a Premier League match. When Mikel Arteta is on the field, Thomas Partey is one of the first names spoken.

The 29-year-old’s performance for the Gunners this season has been outstanding. While protecting the defence from the middle of the field, he has also advanced the ball and assisted the offence. Fans of Arsenal would want to see Partey, one of the team’s top players, back on the field as soon as possible. Our verdict is that Arsenal fans should wait patiently for Partey’s eventual return.
