Arsenal's Noni Madueke Undergoes Knee Scans After Half-Time Exit Against Man City

ACL fears remain unconfirmed pending a club update at Mikel Arteta's Tuesday briefing.

Overview

  • Mikel Arteta said Madueke "had an issue very early in the match" and was not well enough to continue against Manchester City.
  • Arsenal scheduled scans on the winger’s right knee on Monday, with results expected to be addressed in Arteta’s next press conference.
  • A scout’s report raised concerns about a potential ACL rupture, but this remains unverified until medical confirmation.
  • Madueke and defender Piero Hincapie are doubts for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup trip to Port Vale as Arsenal manage selection fitness.
  • The 23-year-old joined from Chelsea for about £52m and has started strongly for injury-hit Arsenal, who are already without key players such as Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
