Thomas Partey has missed a lot of games through injury this season.
The 30-year-old midfielder has been sidelined with a groin injury since the start of September.
He returned to action last week in Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Lens in the UEFA Champions League on October 4.
Partey has a history of thigh problems and muscular injuries and Mikel Arteta needs to be cautious after the international break.
The Gunners are not reliant on the Ghanian midfielder like last term as the club have opted to sign Declan Rice from West Ham this summer.
He managed to play only 45 minutes against Mexico on Sunday as the midfielder has a long way to go to return to full fitness.
Ghana manager Chris Hughton claims it was always in his plans to take off Partey at half-time.
“Thomas was always only going to play 45 minutes,” Hughton said.
“He has been out injured for three to four weeks, he came back for Arsenal last midweek, was on the subs bench for one game played 20 minutes for the next game. So we knew he was only going to play 45 minutes.”
