‘He is really pushing’ – Arteta issues Partey update as Arsenal star eyes Spurs return

The Gunners midfielder has missed the last two games with a thigh injury

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey will undergo another scan this week as he races against time to be fit for Sunday’s north London derby.

The Ghana international has missed Arsenal’s last two games due to a thigh injury he sustained during the first half of last month’s 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa.

Partey has yet to be given the green light to return to full training by the medical staff, but Mikel Arteta has revealed the 27-year-old is desperate to return to action.
