  • Arsenal winger Noni Madueke will be out for "a few weeks" after sustaining a knee injury during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury, noting that Madueke felt discomfort early in the match and was too sore to continue at half-time.
  • Madueke's injury means he will miss upcoming Champions League matches against Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid, as well as several Premier League fixtures.
  • The club is also dealing with other injuries, including Kai Havertz (knee, out for months) and Piero Hincapie (groin, short-term).
  • Captain Martin Odegaard, who missed the City game with a shoulder injury, is expected to return in "a matter of days".
