Arsenal have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United, with midfielder Thomas Partey ruled out with a thigh injury.
The Ghana international, who has been a key player for the Gunners this season, picked up the injury in training on Friday and is expected to be out for several weeks.
The 30-year-old has started all three Premier League games so far at right-back.
But Mikel Arteta will now be forced to reshuffle his starting XI for the big clash at the Emirates.
