What 'killer' Thomas Partey did to Alexandre Lacazette in Arsenal training ahead of Leicester

Alexandre Lacazette has shared an image of his slightly cut foot on Instagram, joking that Thomas Partey is a 'killer' for leaving a late challenge on him in training.

Team spirit is at an all-time high at the Emirates, proven by a run of form that has seen the Gunners win eight of their last ten Premier League games.

They're evidently working hard on the training pitch - perhaps a little too hard in fact, as Lacazette shared on Wednesday.

The Frenchman shared an image of his slightly grazed foot and lower leg on his Instagram story, along with the caption: "PLAYER OF THE MONTH. KILLER OF THE DAY @THOMASPARTEY5."

Lacazette was clearly insinuating that Thomas Partey - the Gunners' Player of the Month for February - had left a late challenge on him at Arsenal's London Colney training ground as the Gunners prepare to host Leicester City on Sunday.

It doesn't look as if it's anything serious, however.

Arsenal's no.9 has struggled for goals this season, but as their foremost leader, he's playing an integral role in their bid to secure Champions League qualification.

His contract may be running out in June, but the 30-year-old is evidently focused on helping the Gunners reach their primary goal, and an injury isn't what he or the team needs going into the business end of the campaign.

Luckily, it seems as though he'll easily recover.
