Arsenal will travel to America this week for their pre-season tour without influential midfielder Thomas Partey.
The Ghana international has recovered from the thigh injury which ruled him out of the run-in last season.
Partey featured in a behind closed doors friendly win over Ipswich earlier this month but, according to The Times, will continue train back in London.
Partey did not travel to Germany for Friday’s 5-3 win over Nurnberg, having played 45 minutes in the 5-1 win over Ipswich Town on his comeback from a thigh injury suffered in April.
Arsenal will play Everton in Baltimore, Maryland, on Sunday, followed by games against Orlando City four days later and Chelsea a week later on Saturday, both in Orlando, Florida.
Partey joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for 50m euros and has since established himself as one of the team’s most important players.
His serious injury near the end of the season hurt the Gunners as they failed to secure Champions League football.
He has played 48 Premier League games in two seasons, scoring two goals.
