“He had a knock while training this morning, he won’t be available against Tottenham”- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Arsenal’s £200k-p/w star won’t play against Tottenham on Sunday- Player not Martinelli

MIKEL ARTETA SAYS £200,000-A-WEEK ARSENAL STAR WON’T PLAY VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that Thomas Partey will not play against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will take on Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby this weekend.

The match between the Gunners and Spurs will be held at the Emirates Stadium.

Thomas Partey won’t play for Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Ahead of the game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that Thomas Partey will not play against Tottenham.

The £200,000-a-week (Spotrac) Ghana international midfielder is injured at the moment.

Partey is on the sidelines with a muscle injury.

Arteta said, as quoted in Football.London: “Thomas is definitely out and the rest hopefully available.”

Arsenal could win vs Tottenham Hotspur without Thomas Partey

In our view, Arsenal could win the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium this weekend even without Thomas Partey.

Yes, Partey is a very good player, but the Ghana international did not play against Everton in the Premier League last weekend and against PSV in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Arsenal won both the games.

Moreover, Partey was playing at right-back for Arsenal this season.

We believe that Arsenal could win against Spurs even without Partey.

Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard are big players in midfield for Arsenal.
