Thomas Partey is pushing himself in order to be able to play again this season – Arteta reveals

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has disclosed that Ghana international Thomas Partey is pushing himself in order to be fit in time to help the team in the final games of the season.

The combative midfielder picked a thigh injury in April during the English Premier League encounter against Crystal Palace.

Since then, he has been in the treatment room and hitting the gym in hopes of returning to full fitness.

According to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Thomas Partey is pushing himself to the limit just to be able to help Arsenal finish the season stronger.

“He has been out injured and sometimes he pushes too far in order to play and he gets injured again. He is willing to help again to play this season. We don’t know if that is going to be possible, but for sure it won’t be because of lack of intention from him,” Arteta said in an interview.

It remains unlikely for Thomas Partey to regain full fitness in time to play again for Arsenal this season.
