Arsenal star fit to face Bournemouth in boost for Arteta | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Ebere Eze is back in contention for Arsenal against Bournemouth this weekend.

Eze has missed the last three games for the Gunners with a calf injury but has trained ahead of Saturday’s clash.

“He is available,” Arteta said. “My first conversation with him after he felt that niggle was that he wanted to be available the next week. That was not possible.

“The recovery, the way he has shown to get back, the way he has pushed.”

But the Arsenal boss says he faces late decisions on Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie, however.

Speaking ahead of the Bournemouth clash and the importance of the game, Arteta said; “The closer we get, the relevance and importance of the match increases.

“Tomorrow is a big day for us. The players know it, the supporters know it. It is a 12:30 kick-off, an early kick-off, so get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch and let’s go altogether for it because it has to be a big day.”
