Making progress, still weeks away
Tzolis (hamstring) is progressing well in his recovery from a muscle injury but remains unavailable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. The winger underwent an MRI scan Thursday that showed encouraging progress, although he is still expected to need a few more weeks before returning to competitive action, according to coach Mikel Arteta, per Football London. "Doing really well, had an MRI scan yesterday and he's progressing really well, another one we can hopefully have back in a few weeks."
Analysis: Tzolis continues to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained while representing Greece against the Netherlands during the international break. The winger was forced off just 18 minutes into that contest and has subsequently missed Arsenal's last two matches, including Tuesday's Champions League victory over Lille. Manager Arteta revealed that his latest MRI scan produced encouraging results, suggesting his rehabilitation is progressing as expected. However, the Spaniard indicated that Tzolis remains several weeks away from returning, ruling him out against Nottingham Forest and potentially additional fixtures. The Greek international started all five of Arsenal's opening Premier League matches on the left wing before his injury, establishing himself as a regular starter. Eberechi Eze should continue benefiting from additional playing time in his absence.
Out several weeks
Tzolis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds United and is expected to miss several weeks after suffering an injury during international duty with Greece, according to coach Mikel Arteta.
Analysis: Tzolis sustained the hamstring injury just 18 minutes into Greece's Nations League clash against the Netherlands, forcing him to withdraw from the national team and return to Arsenal for treatment. Manager Mikel Arteta's latest update confirms the winger will be sidelined for a few weeks, putting him at risk of missing multiple Premier League fixtures beyond Saturday's matchup. Tzolis had started all five of Arsenal's opening league matches on the left wing, establishing himself as a regular in the attacking lineup. His absence should create additional starting opportunities for Eberechi Eze.
