Arsenal is confident that Thomas Partey will be fit enough for their match against Everton next weekend.
The Ghanaian midfielder did not emerge from the dressing at the interval during Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to Manchester City, with Mikel Arteta later confirming he will undergo a scan to determine the extent of his injury.
A report on The Sun reveals the scan shows there is no serious problem with the former Atletico Madrid man and the Gunners expect him to be in their squad for the game against the struggling Toffees.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Partey has been a key man for us this season and the midfielder is one man who helps to shield our defence and give a licence to the likes of Martin Odegaard to hurt opponents.
He and Granit Xhaka have formed a solid partnership in our midfield and we cannot afford to lose the midfielder now.
However, we have been lucky with Partey’s fitness in this campaign because he has not suffered as many setbacks as was the case in other campaigns.
It would be smart to buy a new midfielder, knowing he could break down at any time, so we need to be prepared to ensure we have adequate cover for him.

This news of Partey’s fitness ahead of our away Epl match to Everton, Is not only great and relieving.. But it will serve as a pressure reliever for Arsenal. Relieving in the sense that, the pressure on Arsenal that has forced them urgently to the Winter transfer window market trying to sign a new top quality defensive midfielder will now be less. More especially after they have found one who they want sign. But the asking signing fee that they been charged to pay to sign the Dmf by his club is at a shylock pound of flesh price.
Wow Samuel! Shakepeare! I am impressed!
Had Elneny been fit,I wouldn’t have started TP.now with Mo injured I am not too sure,I believe we could still be too strong for Everton even without both.
Everton away is not an easy game. We need the 3 points. But I think it is going to be tough.
