Thomas Partey, an Arsenal midfielder, won't be playing against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The Athletic reports that Partey has sustained a muscular injury.

The Ghanaian international participated in Tuesday's practice session with the team but is predicted to be absent from the match at the Emirates.

The 29-year-old has started 18 of Arsenal's 21 Premier League games thus far and has two goals.

Jorginho, who joined from Chelsea on the final day of the transfer window, may take his place in the starting lineup.

Arsenal hosts City, who are three points ahead of them in the standings, but they are aware that if Pep Guardiola's team wins, they will take over as the team with the most points.
