Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Thomas Partey is fit and ready for their upcoming match against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
The 31-year-old midfielder had to withdraw from the Black Stars squad for their back-to-back fixtures against Sudan in the 2025 AFCON 2025 qualifiers due to “medical issues,” according to the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
In a press conference on Friday morning, Arteta announced that Partey has fully recovered and is expected to play in the next game.
“Thomas Partey is fit and ready. For Gabriel Martinelli, same as Havertz; we will decide today,” he said.
“Ben White, Timber and Zinchenko are quite close, we hope to have some positive news,” he added.
Arsenal will travel to the Vitality Stadium, aiming to secure the top spot in the Premier League standings.
Partey has been a key figure for Arsenal this season, starring regularly for the club in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
