Overview
- Arteta said Ebere Eze has featured in about 22 of 28 matches this season and is “on a good track.”
- He acknowledged Eze was an unused substitute in the last two league games despite his overall minutes.
- The manager insisted there are no issues over game time, urging Eze and Noni Madueke to be ready to perform when called.
- He explained Madueke’s minutes are restricted by a recent injury and ongoing load management, with selection also shaped by in-form teammates Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard.
- On academy talent Ethan Nwaneri, Arteta noted the midfielder has logged 446 senior minutes this season and described the reduced opportunities as a normal step in his development.
