Noni Madueke Injury: Out a few more weeks

Madueke (knee) is out for a few more weeks and is eyeing a return following the international break, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "They are progressing really well. They are starting to do certain activities. They are all super willing to be available as quickly as possible, but at the moment, none of them are in contention in the next week or so."

Madueke is closing in on a return to play but is still in need of a few more weeks to recover, as the attacker is set to miss out on at least the next week of action. This is rough for the attacker, as he will now look for a return after the international break. He will eye a return to a starting role on the left flank once fit, although he could be relegated to a bench role if the club chooses Eberechi Eze to start on the left flank once the team is fully fit.
