Arsenal have been hit with a major setback as winger Noni Madueke is expected to be sidelined for around two months after suffering a knee injury.
The 22-year-old picked up the knock in training and will now undergo rehabilitation, ruling him out of several key fixtures for the Gunners.
Madueke, who joined Arsenal to bolster their attacking options, had begun to find his rhythm in Mikel Arteta’s setup with his pace, creativity, and flair on the flanks.
His absence will come as a huge blow as the North London side continue their push on both domestic and European fronts.

With Madueke unavailable, Arteta may have to rely more heavily on Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard to provide attacking spark from the wings.
The winger’s potential return is being targeted for December, a crucial period when fixture congestion intensifies across competitions.
