Thomas Partey has been struggling with his fitness and his inclusion in the match day squad was a shock to everyone watching and it has not paid off for Arteta.
The new signing has pulled up injured while chasing Son and Kane before Spurs second goal today in the North London derby. You can see Thomas go over to Arteta as his teammates went on the attack, he wasn’t expecting the Tottenham counter attack and neither was Arteta as Mikel looked to his bench signaling for a substitution to be made as soon as possible.
Mikel then noticed the Spurs danger and pushed Thomas onto the pitch to sprint back in defence with Partey pulling up injured just steps later. What a horrible combination of events for Arsenal.
