Likewise, Partey who was injured in training could not travel to Spain for the Champions League clash.
Speaking at his press briefing on Friday, Arteta said: “The scans show that there is a muscle injury. We might miss him for a few weeks again.
“With Gabi I cannot give you any time frame because he always surprises us. He felt something there, it was a really awkward action. It’s true that he had quite a lot of load in those games playing with the national team and with us which he hasn’t done in a long, long time. That’s really bad news for us.”
On Partey, he added: “He’s got a muscle injury, and we expect him to be out for a few weeks. We don’t know the extent of it. He has more tests today.
“He picked it up with the last kick in training before Seville. It’s very unfortunate.”
