as well as the club&#8217;s return to Champions League action in fixtures against PSV Eindhoven and Lens.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes as a major blow to Arteta given Partey&#8217;s importance to his team.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/10\/75033067-0-image-a-1_1693818283543.jpg\" height=\"453\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are hopeful midfielder Thomas Partey will return after the October international break<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/10\/75033045-0-image-a-2_1693818288620.jpg\" height=\"485\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Partey suffered an upper leg muscular injury in training and is set to miss at least six weeks<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/04\/10\/75033027-0-image-a-3_1693818291654.jpg\" height=\"443\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In a major blow to Mikel Arteta, Partey is expected to sit out for several key upcoming matches<\/p>\n<p>The former Atletico Madrid star has been deployed in a new inverted right back role so far this season, but he was being considered for a return to central midfield in Sunday&#8217;s win over Manchester United before suffering the injury.<\/p>\n<p>That fact Arsenal decided against entering the transfer market to replace Partey, given he sustained the problem more than 24 hours before the transfer deadline, is an indication that the Gunners are confident of having the 30-year-old available in October.<\/p>\n<p>In his absence, Arteta will look to Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny to fill Partey&#8217;s void with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard virtually guaranteed starters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12478167\/Arsenal-midfielder-Thomas-Partey-set-miss-six-weeks-suffering-muscular-injury-training-club-hopeful-return-October-international-break.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey set to miss at least six weeks after suffering a muscular injury in training &#8211;
