According to BBC Sport sources, initail fears are that Eze will be out for around a month, and that scans will take place later this week, which should provide further clarification.

Eze joined the Gunners for £67.5 million from London rivals Crystal Palace this summer, and has registered eight Premier League goal involvements so far, including a hat trick in the north London derby.

Following a return to form with a brilliant goal against Bayer Leverkusen last week, Mikel Arteta will be keen to see Eze back involved as soon as is possible.
