"Winger Noni Madueke is expected to be out of action for up to two months after picking up a knee injury during the first half of the Gunners' clash against Manchester City on Sunday, according to The Athletic. While the setback is undoubtedly a blow, early scans have at least provided some relief, confirming that the 23-year-old has avoided anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage, an outcome that could have ruled him out for the rest of the campaign."
"Given the nature of the incident and the fact he was forced off early, there were real concerns that the winger had suffered serious ligament damage. ACL injuries, in particular, have plagued many Premier League stars in recent seasons, often requiring surgery and a lengthy nine to twelve-month rehabilitation process. Even right now, Gabriel Jesus, another Arsenal attacker, is currently recovering from an ACL injury and he is expected to return to action next year."
Noni Madueke suffered a knee injury during the first half of Arsenal's match against Manchester City and was forced off immediately. Early scans confirmed the 23-year-old avoided anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage. Medical staff estimate a recovery period of around eight weeks, which will see him miss key Premier League and Champions League group stage fixtures. The winger had been growing in influence, adding pace and flair and stretching defenses to create space for teammates. Several Premier League players have recently faced ACL problems; Gabriel Jesus is currently recovering from an ACL injury and is expected back next year.
