Champions League: Arsenal suffer double injury blow ahead of Real Madrid clash
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has provided worrying injury updates on Thomas Partey and Jorginho following their 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
The two midfielders were unable to finish the game at the Emirates.
This comes days before their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid.
The Gunners take on the LaLiga champions at the Bernabeu, looking to protect their 3-0 lead from the first leg.
Speaking to the media after the match against Brentford at the Emirates, Arteta said: “We didn’t expect the issue with Thomas that we had to take him out.
“And then for sure we didn’t expect what happened with Jorginho that we ended up playing with 10 men.’
“[Partey] felt something so we didn’t want to take any risks.”
