In a timely boost for the Gunners, Eberechi Eze was spotted back in Arsenal training this morning. The England international has missed the last three matches for the club and his absence has been felt, with the team lacking a certain level of ingenuity in his absence.
His return to the grass at London Colney suggests he could take his place in the team for the weekend’s Bournemouth clash. Given Odegaard’s likely absence, Eze’s availability provides Arteta with a high-quality alternative to fill the creative void in the number ten role or as one of the advanced eights.
