Mikel Arteta provides injury updates on Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey ahead of Leeds

Arsenal are set to face Leeds United on Sunday and ahead of the game head coach Mikel Arteta has talked to the media. Gunners' boss provided injury updates on Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey.

On Tierney injury, Arteta said:

"We’re going to have to see how the knee reacts when he starts to get a little bit more load. He hasn’t done much yet. "He’s very positive at the moment he’s in great spirits, he’s desperate to get back on the team. We will see in the next few days the moment he starts to train more with the team how that knee is feeling and react a lot."

On reasons behind Partey injury, Arsenal boss said:

"He hasn't had a pre-season and probably hasn't had the type of preparation needed for such a change and then his anxiety willing to do so well, to feel important, he's a big signing. "All those things add. He broke down again, we need to be patient now and he needs to recover properly because it's going to be key for us to have him available towards the end of the season. "We were all devastated because we know the importance of Thomas. We haven't had him since we signed him for 3 consecutive games. It's a big blow for us but he's adapting to the league."
