Madueke was ruled out for two months. |
According to The Athletic , medical tests have shown that Madueke fortunately did not rupture his anterior cruciate ligament. This is positive news for the player personally, coach Mikel Arteta and England coach Thomas Tuchel. However, the player will still have to stay away from the field during an important period.
The 22-year-old suffered the injury in the first half of the 1-1 draw with Man City and was forced off shortly after the break on September 21. The expected recovery time is around two months, meaning Madueke could miss at least 11 Arsenal matches, including the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup.
Not only affecting Arsenal, this injury also causes Madueke to be absent from the England national team training session next month and will likely miss the international matches in November.
This is a heavy loss for Arsenal. The London team is lacking in strength when captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are all unable to return. In the context of a dense schedule, Arteta will have to find an immediate alternative solution to maintain his form and ambition to compete for the title.
Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League, five points behind Liverpool after five games. Arsenal will next play away at Newcastle on September 28.
