He confirmed that🧜 ♌Arsenal had been doing their best to hide the information from Manchester United.

: “Thomas Partey got inju🌳red basically in training.

“Arsenal have been doing their best to keep it under wraps, even a brilliant decision to put the pictures up on the website saying it was yesterday’s training and you could se✤e Thomas Partey in the background.

“Obviously it wa🎃s a ruse t𝕴o try and throw Manchester United off the scent.

“It was tough to nail down exactly what had h🦄appened but it was clear that overnight on Friday into Saturday that Thomas Parte🎐y had suffered some sort of injury.”

Watts l𒁃ater that Partey will be missing for today’s game.

And whilst this will be unwelcome news for Arsenal fans, it does already prove the importance of Declan Rice.

Partey’s𝔍 shouldn’t be as disruptive as it has been inꩲ the past.

And although it seemed that Arsenal didn’t want Manchester United to be priv🔴y to his information, they should have a strong contingency plan.

Despite knowing the injuryꩵ news, it would seem journalists like Watts were happy to withhold the news in respect of Arsenal’s position.

However, with the new💯s already very public, Manchester Un𓄧ited may now be planning a side to exploit the gap left by Partey.
