Arsenal managing Thomas Partey’s fitness amid busy fixture schedule

Arsenal are carefully managing Thomas Partey’s workload as they navigate a congested fixture schedule.The Ghanaian midfielder was an unused substitute in the Gunners' 5-1 Carabao Cup victory over Bolton on Wednesday night, with manager Mikel Arteta opting to rest him as a precaution.Partey, who has a history of injuries, including hamstring, muscle, thigh, ankle, and groin issues, has only featured in Premier League and Champions League matches this season.With games coming thick and fast - clubs are currently playing every three days - Arsenal are cautious not to overburden the midfielder.Since joining the club in 2020, Partey has endured several injury setbacks, including a hamstring issue last season that sidelined him for 112 days.Arteta’s decision to rest him against Bolton is seen as a strategic move to ensure his availability for crucial upcoming fixtures, including this weekend’s Premier League clash against Leicester City.Meanwhile, the midfielder has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia, with his Arsenal contract due to expire in June 2025.
