LONDON: Eberechi Eze will miss England’s friendlies against Uruguay and ​Japan with a calf ‌injury after having sat out Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat by Manchester ​City in the League Cup final.

Eze ⁠had been named in Thomas ​Tuchel’s 35-man squad on Friday for ​matches against Uruguay at Wembley Stadium on March 27 and Japan at the same ​venue four days later as ​part of England’s preparations for the World ‌Cup.

“No, ⁠he’s out,” Arteta told reporters when asked if Eze would be fit for international duty. “We have to ​do another ​scan ⁠in six or seven days and wait and see ​the results. It is ​a ⁠leg injury. His calf.”
