Arsenal's Eberechi Eze looks set to miss a month of football with a calf injury. Eze suffered the injury in the Champions League victory against Bayer Leverkusen. It will be the Gunners' third time playing at Lansdowne Road after pre-season fare against Chelsea in 2018 and the 202 Europa League tie with Dundalk, where they won 4-2. But this summer is notably different because key players will be handed significant rest following the World Cup as they will need to recharge the batteries following a long, gruelling season. It's understood the Gunners are also in ongoing discussions about the prospect of booking in another overseas friendly in Europe.
