Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey has suffered a thigh injury which kept him out of Arsenal's victory over Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

The Ghana international was excluded from the team due to a knock he picked up in training on Friday.

Moments before the game, Arsenal announced he would miss the game alongside defender Oleksandr Zinchenko.

"Oleksandr Zinchenko is left out as a precaution due to a slight sprain to left knee. Thomas Partey misses out due to a tight right thigh from Friday’s training session. Both will continue to be assessed," wrote the club on Twitter.

Arsenal handed fairly tough draw in Europa League

Arsenal have been handed a relatively tough group in Europe's secondary competition, UEFA Europa League.

The Premier League side have been drawn in Group A alongside PSV Eindhoven, coached by former Manchester United striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, FC Zurich and Norwegian surprise package FK Bodø / Glimt.

The Gunners have begun the 2022-23 Premier League on a flier winning all three games - a sharp contrast to their fortunes as compared to last season, where they lost their opening three games.
