From the source

Arsenal fans were somewhat surprised to see Christos Tzolis in the starting lineup against Liverpool over the weekend, as the player was only making his first appearance in the squad after weeks out injured.

But Mikel Arteta explained afterwards that part of the problem was a new injury issue for left-wing alternative option Eberechi Eze. “It was incredible that he was in the squad today.

I want to give credit to all the medical and the performance team because what they’re doing with those boys is incredible, every three days to keep everybody at this level.
