The 29-year-old Black Star has returned to the treatment table after playing the opening three matches in the top-flight.
Arsenal supporters have been left gutted after midfielder Thomas Partey was ruled out of their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The Ghana international is said to have injured his thigh in training and missed the team’s 2-1 comeback victory against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium last Saturday.
On Tuesday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the former Atletico Madrid player will be subjected to another scan to know the extent of his injury and thus ruled him out of the visit of Aston Villa.
“We still have to make another scan, especially on Thomas [Partey], to see the length but I do not think they will be available,” Arteta said adding: “It is a similar area [to the one that kept Partey out last season], but hopefully not as bad.”
Last season, the 29-year-old struggled with injuries and missed Arsenal’s run at the climax, after injuring the same thigh in a 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Before the Fulham game, Partey had featured in Arsenal’s opening three fixtures – the 2-0 win against Palace, 4-2 win against Leicester City and 3-0 victory against Bournemouth.
His latest setback has left the Gunners faithful upset, while others have called on Arteta and the club’s top brass to secure a perfect replacement for the player before the transfer window shuts down.
