Explaining Partey’s situation before the United game, Arteta said: ‘We need a few more tests but he felt something in training and we think he will be out for a couple of weeks.’<\/p>\n
Partey’s move to right-back wasn’t Arteta’s original plan this season, but an injury to summer signing Jurrien Timber in the Arsenal’s opening day win over Nottingham Forest meant a change in position for the club’s number 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Timber is likely to be out for the majority of the season having injured his ACL on his Premier League debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arteta’s men will be looking to get back to winning ways against old rivals United on Sunday, after seeing two points dropped in last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Fulham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Manchester United will also be looking for improved performance after they came back from 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest to win 3-2 last time out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Red Devils could hand a debut to \u00a372m summer signing Rasmus Hojlund who has recovered from injury and could make his first appearance for Erik ten Hag’s side.<\/p>\n
