Thomas Partey, who missed the entire previous week due to a muscle injury, is almost ready to rejoin the matchday squad, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Prior to the match against Leicester City, Jorginho, an Arsenal midfielder, posted on social media with a sneak peek at the team. After Thomas Partey's recent injury, the Italy international was brought in from Chelsea in a £12 million deal, and he has proven to be a valuable addition.
Due to a muscle injury, the Ghanaian midfielder missed the previous two matches against Manchester City and Aston Villa. Partey did not train in preparation for today's match against Leicester City, as Mikel Arteta revealed this week, but he is close to returning to action.
While still recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out of action since the World Cup, Gabriel Jesus is making good progress. Despite having a long-term injury of his own, Mohamed Elneny recently extended his contract at the Emirates Stadium until 2024.
Indicating that he might start against the Foxes this afternoon, Jorginho posted a matchday graphic to his Instagram story. It makes sense that Arteta would not risk the Ghanaian international with so many important games still to come given that Partey has not participated in first team training this week.
In his pre-Leicester press conference on Friday morning, the Arsenal manager provided an update on Partey's health. Arteta said:"The question mark on Thomas, he hasn’t trained much but looks like he could be available.
"Let’s see how he goes today. We’ve missed him in the past few games and hopefully he’ll be back."
