Arsenal are confident Thomas Partey's injury isn't serious.

Partey was forced off injured in Friday night's FA Cup defeat at Manchester City.

Partey, 29, has been one of Arsenal's standout players in this season's unexpected title charge.

But Partey gave Mikel Arteta a fright when he was forced off at half-time at the Etihad yesterday.

Albert Sambi Lokonga came on after Partey suffered a blow to his ribs.

And Arteta later confirmed that his No5 was set for an MRI scan, as fans feared for the Gunners' title hopes.

However, Arsenal are today confident that Partey did not suffer a serious setback, says The Sun.

The MRI results have instead given the powerhouse the all-clear.
