Arsenal’s Madueke out for six to eight weeks

Noni Madueke’s knee injury, which was sustained in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Sunday, will cause him to miss six to eight weeks.

However, it is not believed that the England winger, 23, had an ACL injury.

The Chelsea summer signing has been going through tests to determine the extent of the problem, having been replaced at half-time of the Premier League game against City.

Noni appears to be out for a few weeks, but we won’t know for sure until next week, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on Tuesday.

Let’s see if he felt something at the start of the match and attempted to continue but it was too sore.

When pressed to say whether Madueke would be missed for weeks or months, Arteta said, “We hope so. We need to scan him once more to determine the extent of the injury, as I previously mentioned, but it doesn’t look all that bad.

On Wednesday, Arsenal will face Port Vale in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

According to sources, doctors were anticipating a temporary improvement in the swelling before making a diagnosis of the injury, but it is now believed that Madueke will be sidelined for at least six weeks, despite the assumption that this will be the best-case scenario.

Given Madueke’s promising start to the season, the news has dealt Arteta and England head coach Thomas Tuchel a major blow.

Madueke will miss a number of important domestic and international games for the Gunners if the initial forecast is confirmed, which would preclude him from playing until at least November.

The attacker is expected to miss England’s upcoming games against Wales and Latvia, but he is also expected to miss Serbia and Albania’s mid-November World Cup qualifiers.

After the home draw with City, Arteta received criticism for his prudent play, with Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, and Mikel Merino forforming a midfield trio with the signing of summer signing Eberechi Eze on the bench.

According to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, the Spaniard shares traits with former Liverpool managers Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez, who he played under, and that Arsenal may sometimes have the same “handbrake on” mindset as the ex-Reds bosses.

Arteta responded, “I don’t read it, but if you tell me that this is the main narrative], I’m surprised because I know how to analyze a football game,” and I’m not surprised.

Because it was impossible for anyone to foresee such a dominance from Arsenal throughout the 96 minutes, Pep Guardiola never did it under his leadership.

What word was used to describe the word “so if the story goes somewhere else and we’re talking about dominance, how can you be dominant against such a team if you have?” a handbrake
