Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta unsure if Thomas Partey will be fit for North London derby at Tottenham but claims £45m new boy is 'really pushing' to recover from thigh injury in time for the weekend

Arsenal are unsure whether Thomas Partey will recover in time from his thigh injury to feature against Tottenham, with Mikel Arteta revealing he will undergo another scan this week.

Arsenal's £45million new boy has missed the club's last three games through injury, and his presence in the middle of the pitch has been sorely missed.

Following Sunday's defeat to Wolves, Arteta claimed that Partey would miss the 'next few games' but he has since admitted the midfielder is trying to do everything he can to play some sort of role in what would be his first ever North London derby.
