An injury timeline has been given for Eberechi Eze as Arsenal sweat over the extent of the injury suffered by the midfielder.
Eze missed the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City due to a calf injury he picked up in the midweek Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen. He has since pulled out of international duty with England.
As reported by BBC Sport, there are initial fears that Eze could miss between four and six weeks due to the injury. That would come as a big blow to Mikel Arteta and Arsenal.
football.london understands that there are not yet any set timeframes for the injury, with a second scan due to take place this week. The midfielder has had an initial scan, but a second one is needed to provide finer detail on the injury and a recovery timeframe.

Presuming he misses six weeks, the attacking midfielder could miss some big games across three competitions. Should Arsenal get through to the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and Champions League, Eze could be on the sidelines for as many as nine fixtures in all competitions.
The games he could possibly miss are:
Vs Southampton (A) - FA Cup quarter-final - Sat 4 April
Vs Sporting CP (A) - Champions League quarter-final 1st leg - Tues 7 April
Vs Bournemouth (H) - Premier League - Sat 11 April
Vs Sporting CP (H) - Champions League quarter-final 2nd leg - Weds 15 April
Vs Man City (A) - Premier League - Sun 19 April
FA Cup semi-final
Champions League semi-final leg 1
Vs Fulham (H) - Premier League

There is also a possibility that he could miss the Premier League clash against Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium, which would have to be re-arranged should Arsenal make it to the FA Cup semi-final.
A six-week timeframe means that there is a possibility that the England international could make it back in time for a possible Champions League semi-final second leg. Eze could also possibly make a return for the final three Premier League matches of the season against West Ham (A), Burnley (H) and Crystal Palace (A).
