Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a thigh injury in their defeat at Crystal Palace, the Premier League club said on Thursday.

The Ghana international was withdrawn in the second half of the 3-0 defeat on Monday, with manager Mikel Arteta saying he had a problem in the same area as a previous injury.

“Thomas has since received further assessments, and a subsequent scan has shown muscle damage to his right thigh,” Arsenal said in a statement.

“We will continue to assess Thomas in the coming weeks, during which time he will also receive further specialist consultations.”
