Four shots Sunday
Eze generated four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Sporting CP.
Analysis: Eze made his first start in any competition since March 17 Wednesday after dealing with a short-term calf injury. He led the team with four shots, though he failed to put a single one on target. Still, he was able to put pressure on the Sporting defense which impacted how his opponent's approached the attack. He was subbed off in the 79th minute for Gabriel Jesus.
Finds bench role
Eze (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Eze made a faster-than-expected return from the calf issue that had threatened to keep him out longer, earning a spot in the squad after pushing himself and the medical staff to be available ahead of schedule. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed his availability but opted to ease him back gradually after a two-match absence, with a bench role representing a cautious first step in his return. He has notched six goals and two assists in 25 appearances this season, and Arsenal will be eager to reintegrate one of their key players as they push for the league title.
