Arsenal get injury scare as Noni Madueke is withdrawn in England vs Uruguay
Arsenal get injury scare as Noni Madueke is withdrawn in England vs Uruguay Arsenal attacker Noni Madueke was withdrawn in the first-half of the England friendly against Uruguay tonight in a potential huge blow for the Gunners. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be worried after seeing the summer signing make his way off the pitch and the Emirates Stadium club will be praying for some good news. Madueke left Wembley Stadium on Sunday with a significant strapping on his left wrist yesterday after playing the Carabao Cup final with a cast.
Nevertheless, he joined the Three Lions for international duty and it was reported that they would continue to monitor the Gunners forward. Madueke picked up the knock during an accidental collision in training last Friday and it is unknown if he has suffered a complication tonight. England play Japan next Tuesday and the Arsenal star is unlikely to be risked even if he has escaped a serious injury tonight.
The likes of Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard already pulled out of international duty due to knocks and Arteta will hope they are available when club football resumes. The Gunners boss also needs his players on international duty to return unscathed as he could do with a fit squad for the Premier League title run-in.
