Arteta has confirmed that the defensive midfielder is set to return to the Gunners' squad on Monday, when they face Sheffield United. Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table, just two points behind leaders Liverpool, and a return for Partey would be a major boost, as he has been absent since October.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arteta told reporters: "Yeah Thomas had a session before the last game and now he’s done two or three consecutive sessions. He should be part of the squad on Monday."He has also said "it's possible" that currently sidelined trio Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Gabriel Jesus could also be involved.

WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID

Partey has been missing with a hamstring injury and has not played in the Premier League since their 1-0 win over Manchester City in October. He comes back at an opportune time, with Arsenal currently on a six-game winning run.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal play on Monday so they will be well aware of the results of their title rivals before kick-off. Liverpool play Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while City face Manchester United on Sunday.
