Jorginho and Thomas Partey injury update
There are fears over the fitness of Thomas Partey and Jorginho as the Arsenal duo picked up slight issues against Brentford.
The pair are facing a race against time to feature against Real Madrid, with journalist Charles Watts giving an update on them.
Speaking on YouTube about Partey, he said: “From my understanding, and it is very, very early days, mind you, so I’m always a little bit reluctant to go too strong on it.
“But my understanding initially is it’s precaution and there isn’t too much concern that it’s going to affect him playing against Real Madrid in midweek… My understanding of the very initial prognosis of why Thomas Partey went off is that he felt something a little bit worrying, and they didn’t want to take any chances, he didn’t want to take any chances.”
Meanwhile, on Jorginho, he added: “It looks a lot worse for Jorginho. He was struggling to breathe, and it was a really bad landing for him.”
