Eberechi Eze injury status ahead of Wembley showdown
Arsenal face a nervous wait regarding the fitness of forward Eberechi Eze as they prepare to take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final this Sunday. The attacker was substituted in the 69th minute during the recent clash against Bayer Leverkusen, with Kai Havertz replacing him on the pitch.
Impact on team selection
Eze’s potential absence would force Mikel Arteta to reshuffle his attacking options for the Wembley final. With the stakes at their highest, Arteta must decide whether to risk a partially fit Eze or lean on tactical alternatives like Havertz to lead the line against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Medical context and timeline
While official club reports have yet to confirm the severity of the issue, the timing of the substitution suggests a short-term concern. The club is expected to provide a definitive update on his availability during the final pre-match press conference.
