Hodgson, 73, revealed the news ahead of their match with Arsenal.
He told
BT Sport:<em>
“It is devastating, devastating in particular for him because he has had such a very good season and such a good start to his Premier League career.
“He has got better and better as the weeks rolled on and he is such a good guy as well. He is such an important member of the team.
“To see that (injury) happen, in such a freak situation, it is almost impossible to understand how it happened. Then for it to be such a serious injury, we are all absolutely devastated for him.
“But he is a strong young man, a resilient young man and he will come back stronger.”
According to reports carried by The Athletic, Eze is now set to visit a specialist for scans and further treatment on Wednesday, with surgery likely required to fix the problem.
