Arsenal Await Madueke Knee Assessment After Man City Draw

The £52m summer signing left at halftime with right-knee discomfort, with the club yet to confirm a timeline for his return.

Overview

  • Noni Madueke was withdrawn at the interval of the 1-1 match against Manchester City after signaling a right-knee issue, with Mikel Arteta saying he was not well enough to continue.
  • The winger is undergoing assessment, and an external report from TBR Football suggests a possible six-week absence, which has not been confirmed by Arsenal.
  • OneFootball reports the setback continues a run in which Arsenal have lost at least one player to injury in every Premier League fixture this season.
  • Bukayo Saka replaced Madueke and made his return from a hamstring layoff, while recent injuries have also affected Kai Havertz, Martin Ødegaard and William Saliba.
  • Arteta is expected to offer an update in Tuesday’s press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup tie against Port Vale.
