Thomas Partey is a doubt for Arsenal's Champions League quarterfinals second stage against Real Madrid after collecting a non-specific knock in their 1-1 draw against Brentford on Saturday.
The midfielder, who opened the score for the Gunners with a second half of a strike, was replaced at 69 minutes.
It is a great concern prior to Wednesday's confrontation with the 31-year-old, but certainly to start against the Spanish giants if he were available.
“He (pareny) felt something, so we didn't want to take any risks,” said Mikel Arteta.
When asked whether Partey will be fit for Wednesday, Arteta added: 'We don't know, I have not yet spoken to the doctors. So they will now check him and see how he is. '
After the game, Arteta admitted that he knew that different players could not see the full 90 minutes, although the withdrawal of Parey was not planned.
'We had an idea because we know that certain players could not end the game. We did not expect the problem with Thomas and we had to take it out, “said Arteta.
Jorginho was also replaced as he held his shoulders in the last phases of the game, but the club did not give an update about his condition.
Pardeny immediately impressed and scored his fourth goal of the season.
Declan Rice raced in the middle of the counterattack before raising his teammate, that cool ended by Brentford keeper Mark Flekken.
