Arsenal fans could witness the return of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey sooner than anticipated, potentially bolstering Arsenal’s quest for the Premier League crown in the 2023/24 season.
Partey, known for his role as a holding midfielder, faced challenges securing a spot in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI over the past seasons due to prolonged injury setbacks. These injuries hindered his progress within the thriving Arsenal squad.
The midfielder’s absence from the majority of the 2023/24 campaign resulted from a thigh injury sustained in November of the previous year.
However, recent reports from journalist Charles Watts suggest that Partey might be on the brink of returning to action without the need for additional operations.
“As far as I’m aware, he will not be available again this weekend against West Ham; that will come too soon for him,” Watts stated in an interview with Inside Arsenal, as reported by TBR Football. “I have been told we’re not talking about another operation or anything like that.”
Watts added, “It’s going to be quick, in terms of when he will be back training with the squad. It doesn’t look like it will be a long-term thing, which is good news.”
This potential swift return of Thomas Partey signifies positive developments for Arsenal as they aim to strengthen their position in the Premier League.
Arsenal supporters eagerly anticipate the midfielder’s return, hopeful that his presence will contribute to the team’s pursuit of securing the Premier League title in the ongoing season.
