Arsenal will be hoping that he comes through without any further complications during the Dubai break, as his return date approaches.

Mr. Thomas Partey
Partey is going to have to wait a little longer for his playing return after missing the Africa Cup of Nations.

According to the Mail, he is still on track to return to action this month after suffering a thigh injury.

Possible return date: Tuesday, January 30, against Nottingham Forest.

Jurrien Wood
Before the recent loss to Liverpool, Arteta issued an update on Timber’s long-term absence due to a major knee injury, with the spring slated as his earliest probable return.

“He is doing really well but he is still far from being fit to train with the team, or something to compete with the team so we don’t expect him back anytime soon,” said the head coach of Arsenal.
