Arsenal fans have reacted on Twitter to Thomas Partey returning to London Colney.

The 28-year-old hasn’t featured for Arsenal this season and his return to full training, as reported by Football London, is a welcome boost for the under-fire Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal fans were over the moon when they saw pictures circulating of Partey back on the grass because they have missed his presence in the team

The £45 million player (BBC Sport) has suffered numerous injury problems since he swapped Madrid for London last summer. 

But during a time when the Gunners need their best players most, it seems as though Partey will be available for that Norwich clash at the weekend.

Only three teams are on zero points after three Premier League matches and two of them meet on Saturday.

It begs the question as to what the reaction will be like if Arteta loses their clash against Norwich because he just might not survive to see next week.

But with Partey back in the middle of the park, the Arsenal fans can finally dream of seeing him partner the new boy, Albert Sambi Lokonga. 

With Granit Xhaka suspended, and it’s perhaps a welcome suspension, then it provides a more dynamic midfield to play.

That’s if Arteta selects them all in the XI because the fans feel, after a quite abject and car-crash of a start, their season begins now.
