Gets 30 minutes in FA Cup
Madueke played 30 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup clash against Southampton, returning from a knee injury suffered over the international break.
Analysis: Madueke is back available for Tuesday's Champions League first leg against Sporting CP after playing 30 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup clash against Southampton and training with a bandage on his knee Monday. The winger remains an important attacking option thanks to his pace and ability to take on defenders, recording seven goals and three assists in 29 appearances across all competitions this season, and could see minutes if involved.
Avoids serious injury
Madueke (knee) has avoided a serious injury and is only expected to miss days due to the injury, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "No, it's not. It looked really bad, and Noni was really worried, especially after what happened to him in his other knee a few weeks ago, and he was out for six weeks. But no, he's nowhere near that injury, so that was really good news."
Analysis: Madueke has caught a stroke of luck after some worries of a serious injury to the attacker, as his manager has downplayed the severity and expects the attacker to only miss a few more days. This is major news after he just returned from injury, not ending his season early or looking at a long absence. The likely outcome is for him to miss another game or two to be cautious before returning as a depth option on the bench, serving in more of a rotational role this campaign.
