Blow for Arsenal - Eze Out for a Month

Eberechi Eze is set to miss a crucial period of Arsenal's season as the Gunners push for the Premier League title.

The English attacking midfielder had to leave the match against Bayer Leverkusen (a 2-0 win for Arsenal) due to a calf discomfort. Arteta had stated that Eze would undergo necessary examinations to accurately assess his condition. His absence was particularly felt in the League Cup final, where the Londoners needed someone to unlock Manchester City's defense to overturn the deficit.

With a nine-point gap behind City in the Premier League and having played one more game, Arteta will need exceptional management if he wants his team to remain contenders for all titles. Arsenal's next fixture is the FA Cup quarter-final on April 4th against Southampton, while in the Champions League, they will face Sporting Lisbon for a spot in the semi-finals, with the first leg in Portugal on April 7th. The critical title showdown against City is scheduled for April 19th, a month that will prove decisive for Arteta's squad.
