Problems for Arteta. Noni Madueke sidelined long term

Noni Madueke joined Arsenal this summer and made a promising start to life at his new club. But now he has been hit with an untimely setback.

Details: According to insider David Ornstein, the English winger has suffered a knee injury and will be out for two months. He picked up the knock in the clash against Manchester City and was unable to continue. Fortunately, Madueke managed to avoid damage to his cruciate ligaments.

So far, Madueke has made eight appearances for Arsenal this season. The Gunners’ injury list already includes Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Martin Ødegaard — and now Madueke joins them in the treatment room.

Arsenal’s next fixture is in the third round of the EFL Cup against Port Vale. The game will be played on Wednesday, September 24, at 21:00 CET.

Reminder: Arsenal’s new signing Viktor Gyökeres recently picked up the Gerd Müller Trophy, awarded to the best striker of the season. The Swede had an astonishing campaign for Sporting last year, netting 52 goals in 54 matches.
