Mikel Arteta provides update on Thomas Partey's latest injury against Aston Villa

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Thomas Partey's latest injury.

The Ghana international was substituted on the 74th minute after picking up a knock in their 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

"I don’t know he had a muscular issue so we had to take him off he could not carry on playing," the Spanish said after the game.

"We will see the extent of the injury. He wasn’t feeling well enough to continue playing so we had to take him off," he added.

Partey has been unlucky with injuries since joining the London-based outfit from Atlético Madrid last summer.

The 27-year-old spent 36 days on the treatment table after suffering a hip injury in the defeat against Tottenham.

He was again forced to come off at halftime in the 3-0 loss to Aston Villa in the first round fixture between the two sides.

Arsenal lost game by a lone Ollie Watkins goal.

The defeat is the second for the Gunners this week as they lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.
