Eberechi Eze says he will be ‘ok’ after going off injured for Arsenal

Eberechi Eze has revealed that he will be ‘ok’ after going off injured during Arsenal’s 3-1 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

In the 69th minute, the 27-year-old went down holding his ankle, and Mikel Arteta took no risks by subbing him off for Kai Havertz.

Fortunately, speaking after the game, the midfielder explained that he is fine and is likely to start on the weekend in the Carabao Cup final.

When asked about the knock to his ankle, which saw him subbed off, Eze told TNT Sports: “Yeah, I’m alright, I’ll be ok!”

Martin Odegaard hopes to be back for the cup final on the weekend, but he now finds himself behind Eze in the pecking order for the number ten role.

At Crystal Palace, this stage of the season is when Eze really came alive, with 18 of his 38 Premier League goals coming in the latter half of the season.

His performances over recent weeks, which have been aided by finally getting a run in the team, suggest he is ready to make a big push to help the team win big titles.

“This is what we want to do, this is what we’ve had as our goal from the start of the season. So we’re in the final stages of all competitions, so we’ll keep working and pushing, god willing, it comes through,” Eze added.
