Arteta hints at benching Arsenal fan favourite star in match against Everton
According to Mikel Arteta’s recent statements, there is a possibility that Thomas Partey may not start in Arsenal’s game against Everton on Wednesday.
Although Partey returned for the Leicester City game last weekend, he did not start, and Arteta has suggested that he may not feature from the start in the upcoming game either.
However, the extent of Partey’s injury or any other reasons for his potential absence from the starting line-up have not been disclosed yet. We will have to wait for further updates to know whether Partey will play or not.
“He hasn’t trained much. He had a session and he will train today. It is what it is. He was out for a few weeks and he needs to get back into the rhythm.” Arteta told Arsenal Media.
Yes, those are all valid possibilities. Given that Partey has recently returned from injury, it is understandable that Arteta may be cautious about rushing him back into the starting line-up too quickly.
Additionally, Arteta may have specific tactical considerations for the Everton game that he feels are better suited to other players in the squad.
Ultimately, the decision will likely be based on a combination of factors, including Partey’s fitness, form, and tactical considerations for the game.
Yes, Partey’s absence would certainly be a disappointment for Arsenal fans who have been eagerly anticipating his return to the team. Partey has been an influential player for Arsenal since joining the club and his presence in midfield is a major asset to the team.
However, Arsenal has other talented players who can step up and contribute to the team’s success in Partey’s absence.
In any case, the decision on whether or not to start Partey will be based on a variety of factors, including his fitness levels, form, and Arteta’s tactical considerations for the game.
It remains to be seen whether Partey will feature in the Everton game, but if he does not, Arsenal will be hoping to secure a positive result with the players available to them.
