Arteta coy on Partey’s availability for Man United game

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has kept his cards close to his chest about the fitness of midfielder, Thomas Partey, ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Manchester United.

Partey missed last Saturday’s 5-2 thumping of West Ham due to an unspecified injury.

Arsenal were also without the services of Mikel Merino, while Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori picked up an injuries during the win at the London Stadium.

Speaking ahead of Wednesday night's clash with United though, Arteta admitted a late decision will be taken on the involvement of all players.

We’re gonna have a meeting this afternoon," he said in his pre-match press conference.

"We have done a training session.

“We monitored and kept some players away from certain activities. They all want to play."

Arsenal are currently 2nd on the Premier League table, 9 points behind leaders Liverpool.
