LFC Live - Arsenal dealt hammer injury blow as Liverpool gets boost in title race

Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version or go back to LFC Live.net.

Arsenal winger Noni Madueke is reportedly set to miss the next two months following the knee injury he suffered against Manchester City on Sunday.

The ex-Chelsea star was replaced at half-time and there were initial fears he had suffered a long-term issue, but The Athletic claims scans on Monday showed Madueke had avoided an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

That he is set to be out for just a few months may actually come as a relief to Arsenal supporters, especially given the squad's injury-plagued start to the season.

The Gunners are currently without Kai Havertz, who underwent knee surgery last month.

Captain Martin Odegaard has struggled with a shoulder injury, while Ben White hasn't played since the opening weekend of the season due to an ongoing knock.

Madueke has played such a prominent role this season due to another Arsenal injury, and Bukayo Saka only returned to the side on Sunday following a hamstring injury that kept him out for around a month.
