Mikel Arteta provides injury updates on Partey and Zinchenko
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided injury updates on Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of the FA Cup third round tie versus Liverpool on Sunday evening.
The Gunners welcome the Reds in the Cup tie at the Emirates Stadium and ahead of the game, Arteta has issued an update on a couple of key stars.
Zinchenko sustained a calf injury before the turn of the year and he was absent in the 2-1 derby derby to Fulham in the Premier League.
Arteta revealed that he has been progressing well over the past few days and the Ukrainian will undergo a late fitness test before the game.
Meanwhile, the Gunners boss clarified that Thomas Partey has yet to return to first-team training and he could be sidelined for a few more weeks.
Partey did not travel with Ghana for the African Cup of Nations and Arteta insisted that it was common sense as the midfielder was not fit.
