Arsenal have announced that Thomas Partey will be missing the next two rounds of the Premier League due to injury.

The Ghanaian midfielder has been ruled out for at least three weeks, with his latest setback coming in the midweek defeat against Liverpool.

Partey's absence is a major blow for Arsenal as he was one of their key players during the season so far. He has made 16 appearances this campaign and has scored two goals and provided three assists.

However, it seems that his recovery from a knee problem is not going well and he needs more time on the sidelines before returning to action. The club will now focus on finding a replacement for Partey while also trying to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

The injury news comes after Arsenal lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend, leaving them just four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. However, the loss could potentially be a wake-up call for the Gunners, who will need to put in a strong performance against West Ham United on Sunday if they want to keep up with their rivals.

Overall, it is disappointing news for Arsenal fans as they look to build momentum towards the end of the season. However, the club will now turn its attention to strengthening their squad and hoping that Partey can make a swift recovery.
