Some fans joked that the midfielder got injured during a gender reveal party
He picked up the injury in training earlier this week, Mikel Arteta revealed before kick-off.
The Arsenal boss told TNT Sports: “Thomas picked up an injury yesterday in training, unfortunately it’s a muscle injury.
“We don’t know the extent of it – a big miss for us.”
However, Arsenal fans are convinced that he got injured in a different way
Partey and his partner held a gender reveal party last week and found out that they are expecting a daughter.
When revealing the gender, the Ghana international kicked a football which then exploded into pink smoke.
And some fans have joked that he got injured while taking the kick.
One person tweeted: “I told bro to stay fit he had only one job.”
Another added: “Got injured with this kick.”
While a third wrote: “Bro put a little too much into that kick 😭.”
Due to a groin ailment, Partey was sidelined for over a month before making a cameo against Manchester City prior to the international break.
But on Saturday, Arsenal held Chelsea to a 2-2 tie at Stamford Bridge without him playing a single minute.
