Arsenal provided an injury update on Thomas Partey after the midfielder's unexpected absence from the matchday squad in the Gunners' Champions League clash against Sevilla.
While recovering from a groin injury, the Ghanaian international participated in both of his nation's recent friendlies against Mexico and the USA.
He was also an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea. Given his recent involvement, he was anticipated to be available for the Sevilla match and was seen training with the squad on Monday.
However, he was not included in the 23-man squad at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Arsenal confirmed that he would be missing the match due to a 'muscle injury'.
The exact nature and severity of Partey's injury, including whether it's a recurrence of his previous groin issue, remain unknown. Mikel Arteta is expected to provide an update on the midfielder following the match.
Initial indications suggest that the 30-year-old may have incurred a fresh thigh injury during Monday's training session.
With Partey unavailable, Jorginho maintains his position at the base of Arsenal's midfield trio, partnering with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
