Madueke suffers a blow to the Arsenal draw with Man City

Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsenal has suffered another important injury blow during 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Sunday.

Gabriel Martinelli rescued a point for the gunners in the time of injuries after the first opening of Erling de Haaland in the Emirates.

The result leaves Arsenal secondly in the Premier League table, but five Liverpool points that enjoy a 100 percent start of the season.

Arteta arrived at low heat for his cautious XI initial against City, with Eberrechi Eze in favor of Mikel Merino, while Bukayo Saka was also among the subs after recovering from an injury to the hamstrings.

With his team behind and hungry for creativity, the manager transported Merino and Noni Madueke in favor of Eze and Saka in the half time.

Madueke had seemed encouraged on the right in the first half and could have felt a bit harmful to having been discarded so early, but now it has been revealed that the England’s international has caused an injury.

“He had a very early problem in the game and was not well enough to continue,” Arteta said at his press conference after the party (through Metro) when asked if Madueke’s replacement was purely tactical.

Madueke has earned fans since his surprise summer transfer of £ 52 million from Chelsea and his form has even made him a regular of England.

Saka, as well as defenders William Saliba and Ben White, also just returned from injury problems.
