Thomas Partey is hopeful of being fit to face the Foxes on the weekend, as per the Evening Standard.

Arsenal will assess him ahead of the clash and will be cautious about rushing him back.

The Italian played a key role in helping Mikel Arteta’s side secure three points at Villa Park last Saturday.

Partey missed training on Monday suggesting that it is unlikely he’ll be rushed back and risked against Leicester.
