Thomas Partey set for MRI after aggravating injury - Mikel Arteta confirms after loss to Tottenham

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta confirmed Party would have an MRI. This comes after the midfielder appeared to aggravate his previous injury.

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey was forced off injured during first-half stoppage time of his side's Premier League defeat against Tottenham.

The former Atletico Madrid star has missed Premier League matches against Leeds and Wolves as well as the Europa League encounters against Molde and Rapid Vienna. 

He walked over to the touchline during the build-up to Harry Kane's goal that put Spurs two goals up and was replaced by Dani Ceballos immediately after and just seconds before half-time. Spurs would go on to win the derby 2-0, returning to first place in the Premier League. 

"I applaud their first goal, it is world class, but the second goal we are a man down, we leave a massive gap and they take advantage," Arteta told the BBC.

"He [Thomas Partey] has to stay on the pitch. It looks like the same injury he has already had, he will have an MRI."
