Eddie Nketiah Injury: Absence extended

Nketiah will be sidelined for eight weeks due to his hamstring injury, according to manager Oliver Glasner. It is no secret that Eddie missed more or less the whole pre-season, because on the second day at the start of pre-season, he had a small injury, and now he has a more serious injury and will be out for what looks like eight weeks."

Nketiah was announced to have picked up an injury earlier in the week and was expected to miss six weeks, but has had that extended, now expected to miss around eight weeks of action. This sets him up for a return around mid-October, hoping his stay on the sidelines isn't extended. This will be something to watch as the season approaches, as Matheus Franca (undisclosed) is also injured, leaving the club low in backup attacking options.
