Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta has hinted that Thomas Partey could return against Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday.

The Ghana deputy captain has missed the last two matches due to a thigh injury he sustained during the first half of last month’s 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa.

Partey has yet to be given the green light to return to full training by the medical staff, but Mikel Arteta has revealed the 27-year-old is desperate to return to action.

On Partey potentially facing Tottenham, Arteta added: “We don’t know," he said as reported by Goal.

“Again, he is really pushing. Every day he is trying to get around the doctor and the physios. He hasn’t trained with the team yet. So this week let’s see if he can get a session or two.

“We need to scan him again to see the extent of the injury and how it has healed. I know if it is, Thomas wants to play tomorrow! Then we have to see medically that he is safe to participate this week at all," he added.

Partey is out of Arsenal squad for Europa League game against Rapid Vienna on Thursday.

The 27-year-old midfielder joined the Gunners from Atletico Madrid this summer on transfer deadline.
