The midfielder opened the scoring against the Bees at the weekend and should be a massive boost for manager Mikel Arteta who will be hoping to lock down the game to stop a Madrid comeback away from home. Defender Riccardo Calafiori is expected to remain out, whilst Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are the long-term absentees.
However, Partey’s return is not the only good news for Arsenal, as Ben White was seen training at London Colney on Tuesday afternoon, with the defender having missed their weekend draw. Arteta's options have been boosted ahead of the quarter-final clash with Madrid but even with a full-strength side, it would be difficult to ignore Madrid’s quality and ability to come back from the harshest scorelines.
