THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Ghana international recently returned from a groin injury that kept him out of action for over a month. Partey returned with a 15-minute cameo against Manchester City in early-October but was left on the bench for the duration of the 2-2 draw with Chelsea at the weekend.
He has featured just four times in the Premier League this season and is yet to feature in the Champions League.
DID YOU KNOW
Since joining Arsenal from Atletico Madrid three years ago, Partey has suffered a long list of injuries. The midfielder was limited to 24 matches in the Premier League in each of his first two seasons in England. He was a more consistent presence last year, however, as he managed to make 33 appearances in the top-flight, only being ruled out for a brief period with a thigh issue.
