Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey will feel happy that he ran off minor injury scare before the game against Leeds United. He will also hope for no injuries till the end of the season.
The Gunners will also hope that their whole squad remains available for the rest of the season. Hence, Mikel Arteta will not take any risks with the injuries.
ARSENAL MIDFIELDER PLAYS WELL AFTER THE INJURY SCARE
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey played well despite the minor injury scare ahead of the match. He played 60 minutes against Leeds United. Hence, after that Jorginho replaced him in the midfield. However, Arteta will feel happy that Partey played without any issues. This is because the Ghana midfielder did not play in the second game for the international game.
It is because the Arsenal midfielder suffered a minor issue in the first game. Hence, the Ghana manager thought not to risk him for the game. However, it looks like the midfielder has recovered well. The credit should also go to the physio of the club Simon Murphy who travelled to Ghana with Thomas Partey. He helped Partey avoid a big injury.
MIKEL ARTETA REVEALS THE REASON FOR SENDING A PHYSIO WITH THOMAS PARTEY ON INTERNATIONAL DUTY
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that the decision of sending a physio with Thomas Partey benefits everyone. Hence, the Federation of Ghana are also happy with the decision. The physio also keeps an eye on the injury issues to the Ghana midfielder. This also keeps him for the club football games and the international games for the Ghana national team.
The Arsenal manager further said,” “Yes, it’s something that we’ve done in the past as well. “We have a really good relationship with the Ghanaian federation and we have to manage and look after our players. “They’ve been really positive about it as well. We have to manage our players. It works both ways. He obviously wasn’t fit enough to play the second game but hopefully he’ll be back for the weekend.”. He made the comments before the game against Leeds United.
Hence, Arsenal should now not have any problems. This is because there will be no further international breaks in this season. Hence, it is now full throttle for the players and the manager Mikel Arteta for the Premier League title this season.
