Arsenal’s Thomas Partey has been sidelined from the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League match against Sevilla due to a muscle injury. The Ghanaian midfielder, who recently returned from a groin issue, will be unavailable for selection tonight.
Partey’s absence could pose a challenge for Arsenal as they prepare to face Sevilla in this critical European encounter. The club captain, Martin Odegaard, and summer signing, Declan Rice, have been tapped to fill the void left by Partey in midfield. Jorginho, an experienced holding midfielder, is also part of the lineup.
In the previous Premier League match, Arsenal staged a remarkable comeback against Chelsea, drawing 2-2 after being two goals down. Declan Rice played a pivotal role in this comeback, scoring a stunning long-range goal. The team’s resilience and fighting spirit earned praise from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
Arteta noted, “Even with the goal we conceded, we continued to be like this. I loved that about the team, and I’m going to demand that from them every single day. This is who we are.”
Partey’s injury is a setback for Arsenal, but the team remains determined to deliver strong performances in his absence. The Gunners are currently just two points behind the Premier League leaders, Tottenham Hotspur, and are focused on maintaining their competitive edge.
