Arsenal star has 'face removed' in latest EA FC 24 update as bizarre change spotted

Arsenal star has 'face removed' in latest EA FC 24 update as bizarre change spotted

Zinchenko's real face is gone.

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko is one of several players to have his real face 'removed' from EA FC 24 ahead of the game's full release on Friday.

The Ukrainian was one of many Premier League stars to have a real face in FIFA 23, with EA beginning the process of scanning players from every top flight club several years ago.

They also licensed every Premier League stadium as well, which is why you still see some real Championship and League One stadiums in the game, as well as player faces from all three divisions.

But some top players still have their real faces missing in-game - with a glitch last year resulting in the likes of Liverpool star Darwin Nunez going bald for a brief period of time.

Generally speaking, though, most Premier League players are an accurate representation of what their real faces look like.

That was the case for Zinchenko, who had his real face in FIFA 23 alongside the majority of the Arsenal squad.

But his face has been 'removed' from the game ahead of EA FC 24's release on Friday, meaning he now has a generic look.

He isn't the only player without a face, though, with Real Betis star Isco also without a face. The Spanish midfielder had a real face dating back to his time at Real Madrid, but his lack of a real face may coincide with his status as a free agent during part of the 2022/23 campaign.

Managers have also had their real faces 'removed', including Burnley boss Vincent Kompany and Manchester United's Erik ten Hag.

Celta Vigo boss Rafael Benitez has also lost his face in a pretty devastating blow to the former Liverpool, Inter Milan and Real Madrid chief.

Whether any of those names get their faces back in time for the full release on Friday remains to be seen.
