OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/23/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Outside of a brief injury spell, Madueke delivered a solid 2024/25 season with seven goals and three assists. He's shown plenty of growth in a short period with Chelsea, and now he's made a big-money move to Arsenal. He will provide depth behind Bukayo Saka, and also compete for starts with Gabriel Martinelli. It's a big statement of trust in the inconsistent winger by Arsenal, but he has shown his potential to continue to grow. His upside takes a hit in a side where he's less likely to play a major role, but if he can take the starting job from Martinelli he would join one of the best attacks in the league.
Edging closer to return
Madueke (knee) is edging closer to a return and wasn't officially ruled out ahead of Saturday's match against Sunderland.
ANALYSIS
As usual, Mikel Arteta was vague during his press conference and hinted that one of the injured players could return. Madueke might be closest and there were rumors he returned to training this week, though nothing has been confirmed. Either way, no matter who returns, they won't slot into the XI or be expected to play an extended amount of minutes. Madueke has been out since late September and will gradually build fitness over the break.
