Potential return date: Unknown
Thomas Partey
Partey withdrew from international selection for Ghana ahead of their 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifying double-header with Sudan.
A statement read: “Thomas is unable to join the Black Stars due to medical issues he is currently experiencing, and his club has scheduled him for further tests in the coming days.”
Partey was suffering from illness and is expected to return to face Bournemouth having filled in at right-back during the win over Southampton.
Potential return date: Saturday 19 October vs Bournemouth
Ben White
White hasn’t featured for Arsenal since replacing Bukayo Saka at half-time during the 2-2 draw with Manchester City last month.
The right-back has missed the Gunners’ last four games and before the Southampton game Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said: “We had to modify training for a lot of players.
“We’ve done the same today because of the load that they had, so it’s a decision to make this afternoon whether to involve them, yes or no.”
White didn’t make the squad last time out but has since had two weeks to recover.
