Exciting News For Gunners! Partey Could Return Ahead of Schedule 

The injured Arsenal’s star, Thomas Partey, has made progress in his rehabilitation and could be back in action by the end of this month.

The Ghanaian midfielder’s time at Arsenal has been marred by numerous injuries, but things took a bad turn when he developed a groyne problem at the start of the year. In October, he made a brief comeback to the pitch, but a long-term muscular injury kept him out of action.

Since then, Partey has remained out of action and was omitted from Ghana’s final squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations after being included in their preliminary group. But now The Mirror reports that the 30-year-old has shown progress in his rehabilitation work and could return to the Gunners’ first team ahead of their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on January 30.

The midfielder’s status was updated by manager Mikel Arteta last week, and the Spaniard did not seem very hopeful about the player’s comeback, saying that the player was still a long way from joining the club for training.

There has been a sudden dip in Arsenal’s form after a strong start to the season, as they have gone winless in their last four matches across all competitions. They lost their last two Premier League games against West Ham and Fulham respectively and then went down 2-0 against Liverpool in the FA Cup third round. They will be next seen in action on January 20 against Crystal Palace.
