Arsenal could be about to receive £45m boost after international announcement – Good news coming
Arsenal star could reportedly soon be back from injury after the midfielder was announced in Ghana’s squad for the upcoming international break, with the player himself confident of a return following the update.
According to the Evening Standard, Thomas Partey is positive about coming back from injury ahead of schedule with Partey back in training at Arsenal, with Ghana also naming the midfielder in their squad for the international break later this month in what is a promising update for the Gunners.
The 2020 £45m signing from Atletico Madrid has been out injured for the past three games with Partey recovering from a thigh injury, though despite recent comments from Mikel Arteta that indicated that the midfielder will be out for some time, the former La Liga star now looks set to make a comeback in the coming days.
With Arsenal playing two games this week, it is likely that Partey could return for the Gunners’ Premier League clash against Brentford in 12 days time, with fixtures against FC Zurich and Everton this Sunday likely to come too soon for the Ghanian international.
Arteta has coped well without Partey in the squad with Mohamed Elneny impressing against Fulham and Albert Sambi Lokonga shining in matches against Aston Villa and Manchester United, though a lack of clean sheets in the last three matches shows just how much the 29-year-old is missing from the XI.
Indeed, Partey was a key reason behind Arsenal’s fifth-place finish last season, and the midfielder’s injury record is already causing major problems for the Gunners so soon into the new campaign, though this latest update is a big indicator that the African superstar will soon be back.

After losing to United on the weekend, Arsenal will want to come back in the Premier League in a big way with wins against Everton and Brentford, and the Gunners will be favourites to do so if they Partey is back to full fitness come the end of this week.
The player and his national team seem confident that a return is on the horizon, and with Arsenal’s manic nine-game month in October just on the horizon, having Partey raring to go will be key if the Gunners are to end in a good position heading into the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
