On Friday, Thomas Partey joined his Arsenal teammates for a training session, indicating that he is nearing a return to the field. According to coach Mikel Arteta, Gabriel Jesus has also been facing some injury setbacks, which may delay his return to the team.
Partey has been out of action since October, when he suffered a thigh injury during a match against Manchester City. However, he has been gradually recovering and was back with the first-team earlier this week. Arteta confirmed that the midfielder is "very close" to making a comeback, just in time for their upcoming Premier League game against Newcastle United.
During Friday's training session, Partey was seen working alongside his fellow Gunners, but there was no sign of Oleksandr Zinchenko who has been absent for the last three matches. Another player missing from the session was Gabriel Jesus, who has not played for Arsenal in the last four games.
When asked about Jesus' absence, Arteta explained that the Brazilian player had suffered a minor setback in his recovery from a knee injury. The coach expressed his disappointment, stating that they had hoped to resolve the issue quickly but it seems to have lingered. As a precaution, they have decided to give him a few more days to fully recover before he can return to the field.
Arteta emphasized the importance of having Jesus at his best and did not want to take any risks with his health. He acknowledged that the player has been out for a while and they need him to be in top form. As a result, they have decided to give him more time to rest and heal.
