Arsenal make new Eberechi Eze plan after confirmed injury news

Eberechi Eze set for increased playing time at Arsenal after Bukayo Saka suffered a quadriceps injury expected to sideline him for two months.

Eberechi Eze is poised to receive more opportunities in Arsenal's starting eleven following Bukayo Saka's quadriceps injury sustained in the Champions League draw at Bayern Munich. The club fears Saka will be sidelined for approximately two months.

Eze, 28, has struggled for consistent minutes this season despite impressing manager Mikel Arteta, starting just one league game and dropping behind Saka, Noni Madueke and Christos Tzolis in the pecking order. However, his form has drawn praise from Arteta, and the injury to Saka now presents him with a chance to establish himself in the side.

In his debut season at Arsenal, Eze registered 15 goal contributions in 52 appearances, a notable drop from his 26 contributions in 43 games for Crystal Palace. He has scored twice since the international break and will look to build on that form during Saka's absence.
