“It’s not bad,” Arteta said on Madueke’s injury.

“It looked really bad and Noni was really worried, especially with what happened with his other knee and he was out for six weeks. But it’s nowhere near that injury and that is good news.”

Asked if he hopes it will be a few days before he is back, he said: “Yes, I think so.”

Eze, meanwhile, missed the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City before the international break and subsequently did not join up with the England squad.

But in more positive news for Arsenal, Arteta confirmed that Martin Odegaard and Jurrien Timber are in contention to be in the squad again.
