Ghana midfield star Thomas Partey will undergo scans on Monday to determine the severity of the injury he suffered while playing from English side Arsenal on Sunday.

The Arsenal playmaker suffered the injury on Sunday while playing in their friendly against city rivals Chelsea in a pre-season match with the new season looming.

The Gunners star is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury during the match played at the Emirates.

The Ghana international was substituted in the first half of the match which has sparked concerns for fans of the London club.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta says the midfielder will undergo some scans on Monday in a hospital in London to determine the extent of the injury.

"I just had a talk with the doc. He'll have a scan tomorrow," the Arsenal coach Arteta said after Sunday's match against Chelsea.

"At the moment it's not looking good because he was in pain and could not continue."

Partey appeared to have damaged his ankle under a first-half challenge by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

He received extensive treatment in the 34th minute, before trying to carry on.

But just six minutes later he was down again, and subsequently replaced by Granit Xhaka and Arsenal went on to lose the match 2-1 at the Emirates.

Partey battled injuries during his first season at the Emirates after making the switch from Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal will play their last friendly against north London rivals Tottenham on 8 August before the season starts.

The Gunners will get their Premier League campaign under way against newly-promoted Brentford.
