Overview

  • Madueke felt knee pain during the 1-1 draw with Manchester City and was substituted at half-time, with Bukayo Saka coming on.
  • Arteta said the winger will be out for a few weeks and confirmed the club plans another scan next week to refine the diagnosis.
  • Multiple outlets including the BBC, ESPN and The Guardian report an expected six-to-eight-week absence, describing the timeline as developing.
  • Reports say he is likely to miss Premier League and Champions League fixtures and the next England camp, with the North London derby a potential target if recovery stays on track.
  • Arsenal’s options out wide tighten as Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus remain sidelined and Martin Ødegaard works back from a shoulder issue, though Saka has recently returned from a hamstring injury.
