This incident has made every Arsenal supporter sad and concerned. Eberechi Eze has sustained a calf injury while playing against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday. This is a major setback for the entire club. Mikel Arteta has recently come forward to share important updates. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-continues-to-face-midfield-issues\">Arsenal continues to face midfield issues <\/h2>\n<p id=\"p-rc_538df16d14236276-78\"><a href=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/tag\/arsenal\/\">The Gunners are currently on the first position with a lead of nine points. This was a big moment for the team as they have performed exceptionally well. However, the series of injuries isn\u2019t something new for them. They have also experienced the absence of their captain, Martin Odegaard due to the same reason. He is still not fit to play as per medical supervisors. <\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_538df16d14236276-78\">Significant members had to go in between important matches because of serious injuries. This has weakened the core of the Gunners. Even after such harsh situations, the other players didn\u2019t lose hope. Their resilience and confidence was outstanding. Recently William Saliba was back from medical supervision. His comeback was a great deal for the entire squad. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Football\" class=\"wp-image-144979 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg\" alt=\"Football\" class=\"wp-image-144979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Football-75-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eberechi-eze-was-a-big-asset-for-the-club\">Eberechi Eze was a big asset for the club <\/h2>\n<p>Eberechi Eze has contributed a lot in the club\u2019s success during the beginning of this season. He is known for his speed and pitch smartness. People loved watching him play with so much dedication. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballfancast.com\/arsenal-can-fix-eze-blow-by-unleashing-max-dowman\/\">As per reports<\/a>the English professional has handled the midfield spot quite well. His inclusion in the group was a sign of strength and power.<\/p>\n<p>The North Londoners are already dealing with extreme midfield crisis. They are also unable to fix some good deals for their near future. The club has eventually lost a big opportunity during the transfer market. It had a beautiful chance to secure one of the best midfielders of the current scenario. The other players of Arteta\u2019s team have showed great courage on the ground. They displayed their professionalism and spirit during important games. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fans-react-to-eberechi-eze-injury-status\">Fans react to Eberechi Eze injury status<\/h2>\n<p>Fans are really concerned for the 27-year-old as the manager stated that he is in pain. This news has shattered all the supporters. He was performing extremely well right from the beginning. This exit can leave an everlasting impact on the team\u2019s game plan. Football enthusiasts demand quick fixtures from the squad\u2019s head.  <\/p>\n<p>Fans also fear the club\u2019s downfall during the finals. They have praised Declan Rice for his bravery and consistency. Pundits urge the association to give Rice a chance as the captain of the Gunners. Netizens agree to this as they fill social media platforms with posts regarding the same. Rice\u2019s journey has been full of ups and downs. People believe he is at the peak of his career now. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-144571 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal FC\" class=\"wp-image-144571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Arsenal-FC-142-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-arsenal-should-think-beyond-its-injured-players-now\">Arsenal should think beyond its injured players now<\/h2>\n<p>This injury forces Mikel Arteta to think for better alternatives. As loss of important players can make the squad pay a huge price. Man City can takeover this club\u2019s position at any given time. This particular team has been in the headlines for its phenomenal performance.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts claim that the North Londoners can lose their spot very soon. The constant setbacks are a big question mark on the team\u2019s tactical growth. The coach has to think beyond his boundaries now. If necessary measures aren\u2019t taken quickly then it would be impossible for Arteta\u2019s men to win. They have worked really hard to be on this position. However, minor inconveniences can be the reason behind this squad\u2019s defeat. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-author-s-insight\">Author\u2019s insight<\/h2>\n<p>The Spanish manager should also consider hiring new players as soon as possible. The Premier League has helped Arsenal evolve. It is high time that the association makes all the pending signings happen as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #ba0001;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Football Express as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-box\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<div class=\"fe-author-avatar\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d2788b01b62edd35b767f152e5d26510f3045a02501f8109e5923e2abc020b38?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d2788b01b62edd35b767f152e5d26510f3045a02501f8109e5923e2abc020b38?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d2788b01b62edd35b767f152e5d26510f3045a02501f8109e5923e2abc020b38?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d2788b01b62edd35b767f152e5d26510f3045a02501f8109e5923e2abc020b38?s=200&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-100 photo\" height=\"100\" width=\"100\" decoding=\"async\"\/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"fe-author-content\">\n<h4 class=\"fe-author-name\" itemprop=\"name\">\n<p>                Snow Deb<br \/>\n        <\/h4>\n<p class=\"fe-author-bio\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p>                Sneha Deb is a junior football writer at Football Express, contributing coverage centered on stories and developments from the football world.
