Arsenal handed Christos Tzolis injury concern in Greece draw

Arsenal faces an injury concern with Christos Tzolis after he was forced off early in Greece's 2-2 Nations League draw with the Netherlands. The winger, who has started all five of Arsenal's Premier League matches this season, appeared to suffer a hamstring problem and was replaced by Giorgos Masouras in the 18th minute. The full extent of Tzolis' injury remains unclear, with further assessment needed to determine its severity.

Despite his absence, Greece took control of the game, with Masouras scoring twice to secure a point for his team. Arsenal's Xavi Hernández made three changes at halftime, which helped the visitors mount a comeback, with Virgil van Dijk and Tijjani Reijnders scoring the equalizing goals. Tzolis' injury will undoubtedly pose a challenge for Arsenal, especially considering Kai Havertz's setback while on international duty with Germany.

The club awaits further medical information before deciding on Tzolis' availability for their next fixture.
