Thomas Partey suffered another injury during Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday, December 6, 2020.

The Ghana international midfielder limped off in the build-up to Tottenham's second goal scored by Harry Kane.

Manager Mikel Arteta was seen pushing his summer signing back onto the pitch.

After the match, the Spanish coach said: "I wanted him on the pitch doing whatever he could for the team in that situation. Anyway he could not carry on playing.

"Maybe we were a little too cautious with Son but it was a wonder goal. It is what they do really well, they did it once because the second we were a man down.

"The fight and the spirit and the way they played in this stadium is to applause bit it is not enough to win football matches because we are not scoring goals."

Partey was making a return to the pitch since 8 November and was rushed to boost Arsenal's chances.

But the £45million signing could not have a positive and was replaced by Dani Ceballos after the break.
