Thomas Partey Returns to Arsenal Squad for Champions League Clash with Lens

 

Arsenal’s midfielder, Thomas Partey, is set to make his return to action in the Champions League clash against Lens on Tuesday. Partey has been sidelined for the past six matches due to a groin injury sustained in early September. However, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that the Ghana international has made significant progress in his recovery and has trained with the team over the past few days.

Arteta expressed his enthusiasm about Partey’s return, stating, “He’s been progressing really well in the last two weeks, and he managed to train the last two or three days with the team. That’s great news for us, obviously. He’s progressing and has been very good in the past week. He is a big player, and we know what he brings to the team.”

Additionally, Arteta provided an update on Bukayo Saka’s condition after the young English international had to be substituted during Arsenal’s recent 4-0 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League. Saka had taken a significant knock but has recovered well and participated in training. A decision regarding Saka’s availability for the match against Lens will be made on Tuesday.

Arteta emphasized that Arsenal would not underestimate Lens, despite their current 15th-place position in Ligue 1. He acknowledged that Lens had faced some tough luck with results this season, and Arsenal expects a tough battle in the upcoming fixture.

Arsenal currently leads Group B in the Champions League after a convincing 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven on matchday one. Their travel plans to France were reportedly affected by severe storms in southern England, resulting in a nearly five-hour delay to their flight. Nevertheless, Arsenal will be determined to continue their positive start to the Champions League campaign against Lens. Get the latest updates from the Premier League only on Nextbet Sports.
