00:02Eberici Eze is set to miss several weeks after suffering a calf injury,
00:08dealing a significant blow to Arsenal FC during a crucial stage of the season.
00:15The attacking midfielder picked up the injury during a 2-0 Champions League last 16 second leg victory over by
00:23Leverkusen.
00:24Eze was absent as Arsenal were beaten in the Carabao Cup final by Manchester City, with the club now awaiting
00:32further assessment.
00:33It's understood he will undergo an additional scan, and while early reports have suggested a recovery period of four to
00:41six weeks,
00:42there remains hope he could return sooner.
00:45Eze is expected to miss a pivotal run of fixtures, including a key league clash away with title rivals Manchester
00:54City.
00:55The international break may ease the immediate impact of his absence,
01:00but there is concern he may not be fully fit in time for one of the season's defining matches.
01:07The timing of the injury is particularly frustrating for Arsenal, with Eze having recently found form.
01:14His standout goal against Bayer Leverkusen had been seen as a sign he was settling into the team,
01:20highlighting his growing influence historically as Eze has tended to reach peak form in the latter stages of the season.
