Arteta:
‘He felt something and we didn’t want to take any risks, so he could not continue.’
‘He had some discomfort and it was getting worse and worse, so he could not continue. He wasn’t comfortable to continue.
‘Obviously tomorrow, the day after he will have to have an MRI scan and see what he has.’
A replacement for Partey could be on the way shortly after a £60m bid was made for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.
