The 30-year-old midfielder has been grappling with fitness issues since October 2023, and this recent setback adds further uncertainty to his return timeline, impacting both club and country commitments.

Partey's absence has been notable, with crucial misses in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana participated in Ivory Coast. This marks the first time Partey has missed an AFCON since his debut in 2017, having consistently featured in three consecutive AFCON tournaments – 2017, 2019, and 2021.

The setback is a blow to Arsenal as they gear up to face Liverpool at home on February 4. Partey's absence will be felt, considering he has made five appearances in the English Premier League this season.

The Gunners will be hoping for a swift recovery for the midfielder, recognizing the importance of his contributions on the field. As they prepare for upcoming fixtures, Arteta and his team will be eager to see Partey back in action, boosting their midfield and overall squad dynamics.
