Thomas Partey Ruled Out of Arsenal’ Clash with Injury and Fans Think They Know How it Happened

Partey and his partner held a gender reveal party last week and found out that they are expecting a daughter. When revealing the gender, the Ghana international kicked a football which then exploded into pink smoke. And some fans have joked that he got injured while taking the kick.

THOMAS PARTEY was ruled out of Arsenal's Champions League match against Sevilla this evening.

The Gunners confirmed that the midfielder was absent with a "muscular issue".

He picked up the injury in training earlier this week, Mikel Arteta revealed before kick-off.

The Arsenal boss told TNT Sports: "Thomas picked up an injury yesterday in training, unfortunately, it’s a muscle injury.

"We don’t know the extent of it - a big miss for us."

However, Arsenal fans are convinced that he got injured differently.

Partey and his partner held a gender reveal party last week and found out that they are expecting a daughter.

When revealing the gender, the Ghana international kicked a football which then exploded into pink smoke.

And some fans have joked that he got injured while taking the kick.

One person tweeted: "I told bro to stay fit he had only one job."

Another added: "Got injured with this kick."

While a third wrote: "Bro put a little too much into that kick 😭."

Partey spent more than a month on the sidelines with a groin injury before returning to make a substitute appearance against Manchester City before the international break.

However, he didn't feature at all against Chelsea on Saturday as Arsenal held the Blues to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
