Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli’s injuries and expected return dates for the North London Derby for Arsenal
When Arsenal welcomes Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates Stadium for the North London Derby on Sunday, they will be without a number of important players due to injuries.
Today’s North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium is expected to be a pivotal match for both teams. After drawing with Brentford in their first Premier League game, Spurs have won their past four games.
Similar to the Gunners, only Manchester City under Pep Guardiola had more points (13 total) from their first five league games. But due to injuries, Mikel Arteta’s team will be without some important players for the game today. Players like Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey are still receiving treatment for their respective long-term conditions.
Gabriel Martinelli, a left winger for Brazil, is questionable to take against the Lillywhites after suffering a hamstring injury last weekend against Everton. With that said, football.london has looked at the most recent Arsenal injury information.

Gabriel Martinelli, a standout for Arsenal, hurt his hamstring during the victory over Everton. With Champions League play returning to the Emirates Stadium this week, the Brazilian winger appears destined for some time on the sidelines before this weekend’s North London Derby match against Tottenham.
Prior to the Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium against Spurs, Martinelli skipped training on Friday.
“With Gaby, we are still evaluating him, so let’s see whether he can make the game or not,” Mikel Arteta stated.
Martinelli was asked if he would be unavailable for the matchup with the Lillywhites, to which the Spaniard simply replied, “No.”
Unknown date of return
John Partey
Partey’s groin injury, which occurred during a training session on Thursday, was verified by the Ghana FA on Saturday afternoon. This was a serious setback for Arteta. How long the 30-year-old will be out of action is still unknown.
The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal is hoping Partey will be ready following the international break in October.
Damage to: groin
Date of return: October
What the Ghana FA said: “On August 31, 2023, he suffered a groin injury while working out. He is currently unavailable, and according to Club Doctors, he will probably be gone for a few weeks.
What Mikel Arteta has said: “Thomas Party (against the Spurs) is definitely out.” We still have two training sessions, but there were no major problems in the middle of the week. Hopefully the rest will be available.
Soccer Jurrien Timber.London is aware that the Dutch international has entered the “recovery phase” of his rehabilitation after a successful surgery two weeks ago.
He watched the match versus Manchester United in the stands. Timber, 22, was still utilizing two crutches when football.london met with him following the game.
When asked how he was doing with his rehabilitation, he responded with a quick “good, good”. He will be terribly missed, particularly given that the team was unable to secure a suitable successor during the summer transfer window.
Ailment: knee
Date of return: 2024
Huge blow, Arteta has commented. especially for him, having only recently joined the club. It’s a major setback that he sustained his injuries. He wasn’t going to be able to achieve it this season, despite the fact that we recruited him with clear intents and could see what he would offer to the squad. We must change. Unfortunately, these things do happen, therefore we must go on.
