Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits Thomas Partey could be fit for their FA Cup clash with Newcastle United.
Partey is back in full-scale training this week after a month on the sidelines.
Arteta said, "Well, we have an extra two training sessions [before the game] and we will assess after that whether he is completely fully ready to participate against Newcastle, or if we're going to leave it another few days for the Palace game.
"He is training really good, he is comfortable, he is not aware of the injury right now and he has done more than what he already did before he played after the injury against Spurs, so he is in a good place, a good mood and you can see the player he is when he is training."
