Overview
- Richards praised Madueke’s link-up with Ben White against Brentford on the Rest is Football podcast, calling him a different player who can let Bukayo Saka rest.
- Back from a knee layoff, Madueke started the midweek win over Brentford and helped create the move that led to Ben White’s assist for Mikel Merino’s opener.
- Output remains limited, with one goal and no assists since joining, keeping focus on converting strong displays into tangible returns.
- Match stats cited for the Brentford game credit him with six of 10 duels won, a 100% aerial success rate (2/2), two completed dribbles, two interceptions and one tackle.
- With Aston Villa up next, Jeremie Aliadiere expects Saka to start on the right, as debate continues over using Madueke on his natural flank rather than the left.
