Arsenal issued new Christos Tzolis injury update after tests with Greece

Arsenal winger Christos Tzolis will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a hamstring injury, according to reports in Greece.

The 24-year-old was forced off after 18 minutes during Greece’s 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in their Nations League match in Thessaloniki on Thursday night.

Tzolis has now withdrawn from Greece’s camp and is due to travel back to London on Saturday.

Greece are due to play Germany in their next Nations League game on Sunday.

Tzolis underwent an initial scan on Friday and sources close to Greece’s national side indicate that the winger will be out of action for approximately two to three weeks.

Arsenal will conduct further tests to discover the extent of Tzolis’ hamstring injury.

But if Tzolis is out for three weeks, it would mean that the Greek winger is unavailable for Arsenal’s next Premier League game at home to Leeds United on October 10.

Tzolis would also miss two Champions League matches against Lille and Bayern Munich, as well as another Premier League game against Nottingham Forest on October 18.

Tzolis could potentially return for Arsenal’s Premier League fixture at home to Everton on October 24.

The winger, who was signed in a £34 million deal from Club Brugge in July, has registered two assists in seven appearances for Arsenal this season.
