Thomas Partey: Body Falling Apartey

[North5]

HE'LL
BE
FINE

I don't know. Had a bruised rib once and I felt it for 2 months. Any contact would cut my breath short and it hurt. I can't imagine if it's broken, isn't that even harsher?

Depends on the rib I’m pretty sure. One of the lower ones you probably wouldn’t notice it much. Had bad bruising after a (supposed) sparring match when someone got carried away and missed a kidney punch, was fine within a week.

I had the same thing - I had a severely bruised rib that was far more debilitating than when I broke a rib another time

Yeah it's weird, it's probably like @db10_therza says, depends on which rib I guess.

Honestly I’m not worried - him playing on whilst no doubt knowing how important his fitness is relative to todays game is the biggest sign you need. Someone just needs to break this down for @Tom Mix though, poor lad is going spare on the game day thread.

The three little pigs weren't worried either until the house blew down. If you think doctors subject patients to MRI scans on a whim you know nothing about the medical profession. It may be nothing but there is a possibility it is something and that's all down to playing our most important player in a match with little meaning however many chuckles and chortles you may wish to have about the whole episode.

What the heck do you know about “the medical profession”? MRI scans are quick, painless and have no side effects (unless you take a dye, which you wouldn’t for a bone scan). Think you’re thinking of X-rays and ct scans mate. You could have an MRI scan every day your whole life. The only reason not to for normal people is the cost. You think Arsenal give a toss about costs? They’ll hand Gunnersaurus a fkn mri if he slips on the field.

There’s glass half full people. But I don’t think you’re one of them. I think you’re the kind to turn the glass upside down, empty the water out, and then sulk about it.

 

[Mitch]

Didn't have the best games (not close his typical bad peformances) and certainly didn't offer the back 4 the required protection.

 

[Batman]

I've saved the planet a few times with broken ribs. You tape that sh*t up and keep going.

 

[razörist]

So he’s injured @A__G

Told you its not worth it risking him vs City

Any game that is not premier league or a final its not worth it risking this guy.

 

[SA Gunner]

I think the club knows his importance and thus won’t risk it with him.

Silly to start him but I think action was taken in time. Have a good feeling here

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Hopefully it's not his thighs. Did something happened before HT? He look normally fine to me

Arteta said "rib discomfort" in the post-match presser, so no idea what this means really.

 

[14Henry]

Mate I’ve had a glance at AFTV videos and they’re criticising Arteta for not starting the strongest team.

Have a look at that match day thread.

 

[MikeVinna]

Has there ever been a match that screams “SIGN A PLAYER” more than this one?

Forced to start Partey. Injury scare. Sambi replaces him and stinks the place up causing us to lose. If we don’t get anyone in we’re well and truly fecked.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Sprinting. Getting involved in tussles for the ball. He got too complacent. We got too complacent. I’ve said in multiple threads he needed to spend the rest of the season at a pseudo-late stage Özil level of participation

We are having an unbelievable season but not signing competent cover for this position is bordering on neglect. Let’s hope all is well. Chelsea will probably sign Caicedo just so we can’t have him. It’s business, never personal.

 

[DUFFMAN]

So he couldn’t actually continue playing it was so bad.

Yeah that’s that so.

Bruised or cracked rib 3-8 weeks.

Lol you can easily play through a bruised or cracked rib. Rugby players do it all the time in a significantly more physical sport

A guy in Aussie Rules broke multiple ribs and got concussed in a grand final in the late 80s. He vomited a bit then played on, kicked a few goals, they won. Probably couldn't do that these days though.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

At this stage, all I can say is please be okay Thomas

 

[Gooner Zig]

If TP5 has to miss games, can we just slot Zinchenko at centre mid? Doesn't he play there for Ukraine MNT? I'd rather that than freaking Sambi
