Arsenal are set to receive a huge boost ahead of the second half of the 2023/24 season with the return of Thomas Partey in line for late January.

The Ghanaian international, who has faced persistent injury challenges since his arrival in England, suffered a groin problem at the start of the current season.

Despite briefly returning to action in October, Partey encountered another setback with a long-term muscular injury. This unfortunate development led to his exclusion from Ghana’s final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, recent reports from The Mirror indicate that the 30-year-old midfielder has displayed significant progress during his rehabilitation.

If all goes well, Thomas Partey could rejoin the Arsenal first team in time for their crucial Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on January 30.

This comes as a needed boost for the Gunners who currently find themselves in a challenging position in the league and are now out of England’s cup competitions this season, following a 0-2 defeat to Liverpool last weekend in the FA Cup and a series of defeats in the premier league and Carabao Cup to either take them out of the competition or stall their title charge.

With the arrival of Thomas Partey, Arsenal seem on course to have a real asset that could improve on their season form, particularly in midfield.
