Thomas Partey suffers fresh injury in Arsenal game against Chelsea
Ghana international Thomas Partey has been substituted in the first half of Arsenal’s friendly against Chelsea with suspected ankle damage.
Partey started against the Blues, but appeared to turn his ankle under a first-half challenge by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
He received extensive treatment in the 34th minute, before trying to carry on.
But just six minutes later he was down again, and subsequently replaced by Granit Xhaka.
Partey, 27, missed a number of games during his first season in North London.
He suffered from hamstring and hip issues that limited him to just 18 starts in the Premier League.
The Gunners trailed 1-0 when he suffered his latest setback, following Kai Havertz’s opener.
