Noni Madueke to Miss Two Months Due to Knee Injury: Who Will Replace the Forward at Arsenal.

Noni Madueke's Injury

According to The Sun: Arsenal winger Noni Madueke is likely to miss two months due to a knee injury.

The 23-year-old left the field at halftime during the match against Manchester City on Sunday. Head coach Mikel Arteta confirmed that he 'was not in a good condition' to continue the game.

Madueke sustained a knee injury in the game against Man City.

A fan filmed him limping to the tunnel after the match at the Emirates Stadium.

On Monday, he underwent tests that confirmed the extent of the damage.

The Athletic reports that Madueke may not return to the field for two months due to the injury.

This means his return is unlikely before mid-November.

Recovery Time Before Important Matches

Madueke will try to return to play before the North London derby against Tottenham on November 23.

He also hopes to recover in time for matches against his former club, Chelsea, next week.

In between these important derbies, Arsenal will have a Champions League match against Bayer, making these days crucial for the team.

He will certainly miss Premier League matches against Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Burnley, and Sunderland.

Furthermore, he won't be able to play in the Champions League against Olympiacos, Atletico, and Slavia.

Madueke has been performing impressively since his transfer to Arsenal for £52 million from Chelsea this summer.

Additional Injury Issues in the Team

The England international had impressed in the match against Manchester City before the injury.

Head coach Arteta is already facing a number of injuries this season.

Kai Havertz underwent knee surgery last month, which sidelined him at the start of the season.

William Saliba and Bukayo Saka both had injuries in the second match of the season against Leeds, but both have since returned to the match against City.

Club captain Martin Ødegaard also had shoulder issues in recent weeks, causing him to miss the Champions League match against Atletico and the game against Man City.

Injuries have impacted the team's readiness, which is currently preparing for important matches that could determine the further development of the season in the Champions League and Premier League. The absence of key players could pose a serious challenge for Arsenal in the upcoming games.
