Eberechi Eze to Miss Up to Six Weeks with Injury

Eberechi Eze, a player for Arsenal, is expected to be sidelined for about four to six weeks due to a calf injury he sustained during last week's victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Eze has already missed Arsenal's recent Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City and was withdrawn from the latest England squad.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, confirmed that Eze will undergo a definitive scan next week to assess the severity of the injury. Arteta emphasized the club's cautious approach as they navigate a crucial run of fixtures.

Eze's absence comes at a pivotal moment as Arsenal competes for glory in three fronts: the Premier League, the Champions League, and the FA Cup. The return of captain Martin Ødegaard, who has been sidelined for a month due to a knee injury, is anticipated to provide some relief, although Ødegaard will miss Norway's fixtures against Holland and Switzerland.

The timing of Eze's injury coincides with the international break, which may help reduce the immediate impact on the squad as they prepare for the FA Cup quarter-final against Southampton on Saturday, April 4.
