Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is ready to make his comeback after a long injury layoff, manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
Partey, who joined the Gunners from Atletico Madrid for £45m in October 2023, has been sidelined since early November with a thigh problem that required surgery.
The Ghana international has missed numerous Premier League games for Arsenal, who have faired well without his presence as they keenly compete for the Premier League title. His return is likely to be a confidence booster for the team.
However, Thomas Partey has returned to full training and is set to be included in the squad for Monday's trip to Sheffield United, which was announced by Mikel Arteta. Speaking to reporters, the coach said:
Yeah Thomas had a session before the last game and now he’s done two or three consecutive sessions. He should be part of the squad on Monday
Partey has made only four appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League this season. Arsenal will hope that Partey can help them end the season on a high note as they aim to secure the Premier League trophy. Arsenal currently sits just two points behind league leader Liverpool. This season's battle for the Premier League has been a cagey affair.
Partey's return a boost for The Gunners
Owuraku Ampofo, a renowned sports journalist, has stated that Partey's return will be a boost for Arsenal in their Premier League campaign. He made the statement while speaking to YEN.com.gh.
Thomas Partey's return would be a huge boost for the gunners in the title race. His quality on the ball surpasses any Arsenal player. They are simply a better side with him in it. Hopefully Mike Arteta sees the light to play Partey alongside Declan Rice, a combination that would see results for the club. He said.
