Arsenal have received encouraging news regarding the fitness of winger Noni Madueke after his recent injury scare during international duty with England national football team.

The 24-year-old was forced off during a friendly clash against Uruguay national football team at Wembley Stadium, sparking concern among fans when he was later seen wearing a protective knee brace. However, fresh reports indicate the issue is not serious, reports alldaysport.net

According to updates from The Athletic journalists, Madueke’s injury is considered minor, and the winger is expected to make a swift recovery.

While he is likely to sit out Arsenal’s upcoming FA Cup quarter-final against Southampton FC, his absence should not extend for long.

There are also doubts about his availability for the away fixture against Sporting CP, but optimism remains high that he will return shortly after.

Arsenal are set for a demanding run of matches, including games against AFC Bournemouth and Manchester City FC, where Madueke could play an important role.

In his potential absence, Arsenal may look to rotate their squad. Rising talent Max Dowman could be handed more minutes, while Bukayo Saka may also be given a rest after dealing with minor fitness concerns of his own.

Madueke will be eager to return quickly as he looks to contribute to Arsenal’s push for silverware this season.

A strong finish could also boost his chances of securing a place in Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the upcoming World Cup squad.

Overall, the situation appears far less serious than initially feared, offering a timely boost for both the player and the club during a crucial stage of the campaign./ALLDAYSPORT/
