Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey could be out till the end of the season following his injury few weeks ago in the English Premier League.
The Ghana deputy captain may even miss the start of Arsenal’s pre-season if he suffers another setback in his injury recovery, according to an injury expert.
He suffered a thigh injury in last month’s 3-0 loss at Crystal Palace on April 4.
Ghana are also keeping an eye on Partey’s injury situation as Black Stars return to action in early June with 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
“It’s always good to have targets and goals,” Dinnery said.
“They will hope they don’t need him to get them over the line with Champions League qualification. It’s about managing the situation well,”
“If you rush him back, that could follow through to pre-season and then ultimately next season. It’s all about risk and reward,” he added.
“Given that he has suffered this type of injury before, this is a significant setback. We are looking at several weeks on the sidelines,”
“If he was to suffer a recurrence of the injury, that would extend the timeline,”
“Given that it is a World Cup year which has pushed pre-season forward, he could conceivably miss pre-season if he’s rushed back and suffers a setback.” he ended.
