Noni Madueke was replaced at halftime against Manchester City after England International was seen limping during the first half closure phase
Arsenal’s medical team is currently evaluating Noni Maduke’s knee after the England star experienced discomfort in the first half of a 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The 23-year-old left the field at intervals and was replaced by Bukayosaka. Bukayosaka returned from a hamstring injury in Leeds’ 5-0 dismantling last month.
Madueke limped just before halftime whi, pushing against the opponents and moving to Ginger. However, he managed to keep playing and fell into visible pain after blocking a late-first-half cross from Belgian winger Jeremy Doc.
Arsenal is currently running tests at Madueke to determine if the summer signature was damaged. Since his move from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates, Madueke has been an impressive form, showing off all six Arsenal matches across all competitions so far, despite the gunner’s lack of scores yet.
He started his final five games and made his debut in place of his official debut in a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Maduce also started both England’s international matches earlier this month, scoring in a 5-0 defeat for Serbia in Belgrade.
