Arteta reveals new injury concern for Arsenal after Tzolis started

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that midfielder Eberechi Eze missed the fixture against Liverpool due to a fitness issue sustained prior to the match. While fans anticipated Eze starting, the setback forced a change in plans, though the player still managed to make the matchday squad. Meanwhile, Christos Tzolis unexpectedly started and played nearly the entire game following his recent recovery from injury.

Arteta praised Arsenal's medical and performance staff for their relentless efforts to keep players fit amid a demanding schedule. Although Eze's absence was a concern, the midfielder is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period as the Gunners navigate their upcoming fixtures.
