Overview
- Eberechi Eze remained an unused substitute in Arsenal’s 3-2 win at Bournemouth, his third straight Premier League game without a minute.
- Mikel Arteta said Eze has appeared in roughly 22 of 28 matches and "has played more minutes than ever" at this stage, so his minutes are being managed.
- Arteta added there are aspects of Eze’s game to improve and emphasized regular communication about the player’s state and readiness.
- Strong performances from Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard have influenced recent selections and limited Eze’s opportunities.
- The £60m signing from Crystal Palace has 22 appearances with five goals and four assists this season, earning praise from pundit Leon Osman.
