The Gunners are already without captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus and another attack-minded player is now set for a spell on the sidelines. The player in question? Noni Madueke who is now set to be out of action for two months with a knee injury, according to The Athletic. They add that his scans on Monday showed he avoided rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in a relief to the forward, manager Mikel Arteta and England boss Thomas Tuchel. Madueke suffered the injury during the first half of Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon - and was forced to come off at half-time as a result. The two-month time-frame means Madueke is likely to miss at least 11 Arsenal matches, which could increase depending on their Carabao Cup participation too.
