The hopes of Arsenal midfielder Thomas Party to return to his team after recovery
suffered a setback when he renewed his thigh injury in his first match, which ended
in his team’s 2-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Barty, who comes from Ghana, and whose contract cost Arsenal 50 million euros ($ 60.69 million),
was injured in the thigh last November and missed his team’s ranks until yesterday’s match against
the leading London neighbor.
He showed signs of injury before the end of the first half and was standing on the touchline
demanding a replacement when Tottenham carried out a counterattack and then his coach
Mikel Arteta asked him to stop the attack of the owners of the land but he only ran for a few
meters before stopping.
“I was trying to push him to stop the attack, but I do not think that he was aware of the seriousness
of the situation when he left his position, and it may have happened because he was in pain,”
Arteta said of the situation.
