As reported by standard, the wingers are being closely monitored and the club is set to release an official update at Arteta’s press conference on Tuesday.

The scan reveals whether Madueke’s problem is a short-term setback or a more serious concern that could stumble on him for a few weeks.
Given Arsenal’s busy schedule, the medical team is cautious about rushing him back. With equipment looming against top six rivals and key European ties, a long absence could hit Arsenal’s offensive options.
