'Partey is still a doubt for the Everton game' - Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, says Thomas Partey is still an injury doubt for the Everton game on Saturday.

The Black Stars midfielder picked a minor injury in the Gunners' FA Cup defeat to Manchester City last Friday and was subbed off at half-time.

Ahead of the trip to Merseyside, the Spaniard said Partey's availability will depend on what happens today in training.

“That one is still a doubt,” Arteta said when asked about Partey’s availability.

“Let’s see today how he comes in, and whether he’s able to train with the team or not, and we’ll make the decision on that.

“It’s not ruled out and it’s nothing very significant, but it was significant enough to get him out of the (City) game, which for Thomas is a bit unusual, but hopefully he will be fine.”

The 29-year-old has been instrumental for Arsenal's Premier League title charge, playing 16 games and scored two magnificent goals.
