Overview
- Madueke, who started Friday's 1-1 draw with Uruguay, went off before half-time after a heavy challenge and appeared to suffer a left-knee issue.
- England confirmed he has left the national team camp to return to Arsenal for assessment, and no official diagnosis has been shared.
- Local reports said he left Wembley wearing a knee brace, which has raised concern that the injury could be more serious.
- An injury analyst on X suggested a possible medial collateral ligament problem and outlined recovery ranges from 1 to 8-plus weeks depending on grade, though scans will decide.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel said he is worried, and any layoff could affect Arsenal’s plans for an FA Cup quarter-final next Saturday and a Champions League quarter-final the following Tuesday.
