Arsenal attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze is set for a period on the sidelines after suffering a calf injury. The England international could miss between four and six weeks of football, according to Sky Sports. The 27-year-old sustained the muscle problem during a training session at London Colney earlier this week.
Eze joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace and has become a regular fixture in the starting eleven. Medical assessments confirmed the extent of the damage on Tuesday morning, per reports from The Athletic. The injury rules the midfielder out of upcoming Premier League fixtures and potential international duties for England.
Arsenal currently sit in the top four of the Premier League table as they pursue the title. Managerial staff are expected to look at internal options to fill the void in the creative midfield role. The club's medical team will monitor the player's recovery over the coming month to determine an exact return date.
