Thomas Partey Injury Concern as Arsenal Prepare for Real Madrid Clash

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is currently undergoing medical assessment after picking up a knock during the team's recent 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Manager Mikel Arteta remains optimistic that Partey will recover in time to feature in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid, scheduled for Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Partey’s situation adds to Arsenal’s injury concerns. Midfielder Jorginho has been ruled out due to a rib injury sustained in the same match, while defender Ben White missed the Brentford fixture after experiencing discomfort in training.

Despite these setbacks, Arsenal heads into the match with a 3-0 lead from the first leg and will be aiming to secure a place in the Champions League semi-finals. Arteta has expressed confidence in the depth and resilience of his squad ahead of the crucial clash in Madrid.
