Noni Madueke - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Minor role continues Madueke has been an unused substitute in Arsenal's last two Premier League matches.

Impact Madueke started four times in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with England and was expected to play a big role for Arsenal in the 2026/27 season, but he's been limited to three appearances off the bench and a combined 40 minutes across three outings in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. With Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis as clear-cut starters, and Max Dowman emerging as a real alternative, Madueke's playing time isn't expected to increase anytime soon.

23 minutes through three games Madueke has recorded 23 minutes of play off the bench in two appearances to begin the 2026/27 campaign.

Impact Madueke has not earned much time on the field to start the season, playing 23 minutes through three Premier League games while getting 17 minutes of action in the UCL opener. This has limited his production as well, earning four chances created but yet to record a shot in league play. With limited time, his value remains minimal to begin the campaign, potentially an option to keep on the bench in case Arsenal picks up some injuries. He could also start to see more time in a few more weeks when fatigue sets in, and more rotation takes place.

Unproductive versus Norway Madueke recorded three crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 win against Norway.

Impact Madueke regained the starting spot over Bukayo Saka, but an unconvincing performance led to his half-time substitution Saturday. It remains a close race between the two Arsenal wingers for a spot in the national team's attack heading into the semifinals, so both could be expected to split time on the field. As for Madueke, he has yet to score or assist over 288 minutes of play, and he's likely to rely on his dribbling and playmaking skills for offensive production going forward.

Major volume in win Noni Madueke generated two shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against the DR Congo.

Impact Madueke sent in 10 crosses and created three chances during an hour on the pitch Wednesday. The winger was a threat every time he got on the ball out wide, but he couldn't find a friendly head in the box. Madueke should continue to be a threat off the wing as part of England's excellent attack as they move on to the round of 16 and a tough clash with Mexico.

Logs five crosses Tuesday Madueke registered two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Ghana.

Impact Madueke had an unsuccessful performance in terms of dribbling and one-on-one duels, though he played a major role in the attack of a dominant side. He has retained solid playing time over the first two games of the 2026 World Cup. However, with players like Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford slowly overcoming fitness issues, Madueke would need to deliver more decisive efforts in order to stay in the lineup for subsequent rounds.

England's Thomas Tuchel Hints Winger Bukayo Saka Will Not Start Against Ghana

Starts against Croatia Madueke recorded one shot, a cross and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Madueke was called on to start in the opener Wednesday after Bakayo Saka was left on the bench to start after some recent Achilles issues, recording a 72-minute shift on the right. He would see some decent work on the flank in the one-on-one game while having numerous touches in the opposing box, even earning England's penalty. However, his starting spot is unlikely to stick throughout the entire tournament as Saka should claim that role in future matches.

Impact Madueke joined Arsenal from Chelsea and contributed eight goals and four assists in 43 games across all competition in a rotational capacity throughout the campaign for the Gunners, combining his characteristic direct running, pace and ability to create chances from the right flank with the standards demanded at a title-winning club. The Englishman brings an unpredictable and explosive attacking threat that makes him one of the most dangerous impact substitutes in the squad, and his ability to beat defenders with pace and deliver dangerous crosses gives manager Thomas Tuchel a different attacking profile to the options ahead of him in the pecking order. Madueke heads into the World Cup ready to make the most of every opportunity and show he belongs among England's first-choice attacking options at the very highest level of the international game.

Fit to play Saturday Madueke (hamstring) is fit to play in Saturday's UCL final against PSG, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Noni [is fit] as well."

Impact Madueke was forced off after scoring a goal in the final match of the Premier League season against Crystal Palace due to an apparent left hamstring injury. However, Arteta confirmed that the winger will be an option for the final match of the campaign, though he's likely ticketed for a spot on the bench. Arsenal are likely to start Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres and Leandro Trossard upfront. Madueke has three goals in nine UCL appearances (six starts) this season.

Impact Madueke is believed to be fully fit despite his forced exit in the previous game, where he scored his first goal in over two months. The attacker has been involved in a rotation on the right wing but should be limited to a backup role as long as Bukayo Saka is available. Still, Madueke could make a decent dribbling and creative contribution if given meaningful playing time.
