Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hailed the injury to Thomas Partey as a blessing in disguise for some players in the team.

The Ghanaian midfielder suffered an injury that kept him sidelined for several months, but this setback allowed other players the opportunity to step up and prove themselves on the pitch.

After a resounding 5-0 victory over Chelsea in the English Premier League, Arteta spoke about how Partey’s absence opened the door for different players to showcase their skills in various positions. The Spanish tactician expressed his satisfaction with the versatility and depth of his squad, highlighting the performances of players like Declan, Kai, and Jorgi who have all made significant contributions in Partey’s absence.

Despite missing a key player like Partey, Arsenal have been on an impressive run of form and have accumulated a good number of points in the league.

Arteta emphasized the importance of having a team with different resources and the ability to adapt and find alternative ways to win matches.
