- 6 months ago
THOMAS PARTEY was ruled out of Arsenal's Champions League match against Sevilla this evening.
The Gunners confirmed that the midfielder was absent with a "muscular issue".
He picked up the injury in training earlier this week, Mikel Arteta revealed before kick-off.
The Arsenal boss told TNT Sports: "Thomas picked up an injury yesterday in training, unfortunately, it’s a muscle injury.
"We don’t know the extent of it - a big miss for us."
However, Arsenal fans are convinced that he got injured differently.
Partey and his partner held a gender reveal party last week and found out that they are expecting a daughter.
When revealing the gender, the Ghana international kicked a football which then exploded into pink smoke.
And some fans have joked that he got injured while taking the kick.
One person tweeted: "I told bro to stay fit he had only one job."
Another added: "Got injured with this kick."
While a third wrote: "Bro put a little too much into that kick ."
Partey spent more than a month on the sidelines with a groin injury before returning to make a substitute appearance against Manchester City before the international break.
However, he didn't feature at all against Chelsea on Saturday as Arsenal held the Blues to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
