JAKARTA - Arsenal striker, Noni Madueke, is expected to be out for up to two months due to a knee injury.

Maudeke was pulled off the pitch as Arsenal drew against Manchester City 1-1 on Sunday, September 21, 2025. According to ESPN, he has undergone a scan on Monday, September 22, 2025, local time.

This injury will be a crushing blow to Mikel Arteta's front line which has been drained out. They had previously lost Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus due to injury.

The 23-year-old's successor to Manchester City is Bukayo Saka, who has just returned from a hamstring injury.

"He will be out for a few weeks. We may have to do another scan next week."

"He felt something at the start of the match (against Manchester City). He tried to continue the match, but in the first half he felt too sick."

"It didn't look too bad. He was obviously devastated. It was disappointing to see him, he was in such good shape. He seemed like a real threat. So, this is a big loss for us," Arteta said discussing Madueke's injury on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, local time.

Madueke has impressed Arsenal since his 48 million jump from Chelsea in the summer.

He has started in four of Arsenal's five Premier League games this season, proving his worth on the left and right.

His performance has proven on the international stage, where he started both World Cup 2026 Qualifiers with England in September 2025. He has also scored the first goal for his country in a win over Serbia.

If the forward finally has to be sidelined for two months, he will miss the next two Champions League games against Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague.

He could miss up to six Ingris League games and may be at risk of missing the first North London Derby this season against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2025.
