Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an injury update about his side as they prepare to visit Sheffield United this weekend. The manager, while speaking in his press conference confirmed that Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey will be absent from the squad for a few weeks.
On the fitness of Thomas Partey: “He’s got a muscle and we are expecting him to be out for a few weeks. We don’t really know the extent of it and he has more tests today but he picked up that injury in a training session with the last kick of the ball before Sevilla, so very unfortunate.
On Gabriel Jesus’ fitness: “The scan shows that there is a muscle injury and we might lose him for a few weeks again.
Regarding the time of comeback he said “With Gabi I cannot give you any time frame because he always surprises us, but there is something there. He felt in a really awkward action and it’s true that he had quite a lot of load in the last few weeks with the national team and then playing those games, which he hasn’t done in a long, long time. That’s really bad news for us.”
