Thomas Partey, a midfielder from Ghana, has been declared likely to be fit for Arsenal's Premier League match against Everton on March 1, 2023, according to head coach Mikel Arteta.

Partey will train with the team on Tuesday, and that will determine whether he can play against Everton, according to Mikel Arteta during the pre-game press conference.

“He hasn’t trained much. He had a session & he will train today. It is what it is. He was out for a few weeks & he needs to get back into the rhythm.”

Thomas Partey suffered an injury in the lead-up to Arsenal’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

The Black Stars midfielder went on to miss Arsenal’s next three games and returned over the weekend with a cameo performance in their 1-0 victory over Leicester on Saturday.

Thomas Partey has been integral in Arsenal’s chase for the title this season, with the Gunners yet to lose a game with him in the side.

His injury record is however a cause of concern for Arsenal who are believed to be on the market for a long-term replacement.

The Gunners were heavily linked with Brighton star, Moises Caicedo and it is believed that they will make another attempt in the summer.

Arsenal are also said to be the preferred destination for West Ham United captain, Declan Rice, who is expected to leave the Hammers in June.
