Arsenal are sweating after Thomas Partey suffered an injury in the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Gunners coach Mikel Arteta confirmed that Partey suffered a recurring injury during his post-match press conference.

“I haven’t seen the action repeated. But it is an injury and it is in the same area unfortunately. We don’t know how bad it is. I was trying to push him but I don’t think he realised the gravity of the situation when he left his position but that was probably because he was in a lot of pain,” Arteta said.

“It’s nothing we can do at the moment to resolve that.

“It was too quick. We were through and I think it was a four against three situation for us to play the final ball and we were through. Suddenly, they are coming to attack us and Thomas is walking to me and I was trying to push him.

“I haven’t spoken to him so I don’t know exactly how it happened or if he felt something really serious. I will look at it and we will talk about it,” He added.
