Journalist says Arsenal will need Eze more than they thought

Arsenal are preparing to integrate Eberechi Eze into their squad for the upcoming Premier League clash with Liverpool following his recent signing. The attacker was unveiled to the supporters during the Gunners’ game against Leeds United, but he was not registered in time to feature in the fixture against the Whites.

Mikel Arteta now has the option to include Eze in the starting XI for the next game, and it is widely expected that the player will take his chance to make an immediate impact. The head coach will ultimately make his selection based on training performances in the days leading up to the match, but Eze will be eager to demonstrate why Arsenal invested in him and to secure his place in the team as soon as possible.

Arsenal’s Injury Concerns and Tactical Adjustments

The Gunners will be looking to claim all three points in their encounter with Liverpool, but they face the challenge of missing two key players. Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka were both injured during the recent match against Leeds United, leaving Arsenal without two influential figures in their attacking line. Saka is expected to be sidelined for around a month, while Odegaard’s availability remains uncertain.

These absences will require Arteta to make adjustments to the starting XI, providing an opportunity for Eze to be introduced sooner than initially anticipated. The coaching staff will need to adapt the team’s strategy and formation to compensate for the loss of creativity and goal threat previously supplied by Saka and Odegaard.

Eze’s Expected Impact

According to the Daily Mail’s Ian Ladyman, Arsenal “will need Eze even more than they thought after injuries to Bukayo Saka – expected to miss a month of football – and Martin Odegaard against Leeds and his smile of gratitude and almost disbelief as he was introduced to the crowd on Saturday was a lovely moment.” This statement highlights both the urgency of Eze’s inclusion and the positive reception he received from supporters, underscoring the optimism surrounding his arrival.

Eze’s signing was intended to strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options, and with the current injury situation, the timing of his debut could not be better. The club do not intend to keep him on the bench for long, and supporters can expect to see him contribute to the team’s efforts in the coming fixture, aiming to maintain Arsenal’s pursuit of Premier League success.
