Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze is expected to be out for up to six weeks after sustaining a calf injury during the club’s recent victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal face a significant setback as attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze is set to miss four to six weeks.
The 27-year-old sustained a calf injury against Bayer Leverkusen, subsequently missing the Carabao Cup final and withdrawing from England duty.
Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed a definitive scan is scheduled this week, noting Eze’s absence comes as the club pursues Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup silverware.
Despite the blow, the Gunners expect captain Martin Odegaard to return following the international break.
Odegaard has missed a month with a knee injury but will skip Norway’s upcoming fixtures to finalize his recovery.
Regarding the timeline for Eze’s assessment, Arteta stated that the player “will have a definitive scan this week to determine the full extent of the injury” before their FA Cup quarter-final.
