The Standard reports that Arsenal forward Christos Tzolis is facing up to three weeks out after sustaining a right hamstring injury on international duty for Greece. He was forced off inside the opening 20 minutes of Greece's draw with the Netherlands in the Nations League on Thursday night.
According to the report, Tzolis had scans in Greece on Friday afternoon, and the initial estimate is a layoff of around 20 days. That would rule him out of Arsenal's next run of fixtures, including Leeds on 10 October, Lille in the Champions League on 13 October and Nottingham Forest on 18 October.
If that timetable holds, Tzolis could still be in line to return before the end of October, although the report says the Bayern Munich trip on 21 October may come too soon. The home match against Everton three days later is presented as a more realistic target.
What remains unconfirmed
- The exact severity of the hamstring injury has not been officially confirmed by Arsenal.
- His actual return date remains uncertain until further medical assessment and recovery progress are known.
- The report says Bayern Munich on 21 October may be too soon, but that availability is not confirmed.
