'Even at 80% fit, he has to start!' - Micah Richards urges Thomas Tuchel to drop Noni Madueke and names England star who should replace him against Mexico

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.

All 215 World Cup Group Stage Goals, Ranked From Best To Worst

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.

Supersub option on wings Madueke has been named in England's World Cup squad after his move to Arsenal and is expected to provide manager Thomas Tuchel with a direct and electric wide option capable of cha...

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.

Impact Madueke had scored his third Premier League goal of the season earlier in the match before the issue emerged, and while he was able to walk off the pitch unaided and was not hobbling during the trophy celebrations afterward, the nature of a hamstring complaint so close to the biggest game of the season is a concern for manager Mikel Arteta. No official update has been provided on the severity of the issue, with the club set to assess him before making any decisions on his availability for Budapest. Madueke has also been named in England's World Cup squad, giving him additional motivation to prove his fitness as quickly as possible.

Fit for starting XI Madueke (knee) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Madueke is back in the team sheet after some testing Sunday, fit enough not only to play but make the starting XI. It is a huge addition that he can start right away, needing to fill the big shoes left by Bukayo Saka. He will be tasked with creating chances up top, especially with Viktor Gyokeres on the bench, although Maueke last earned a goal contribution over a month ago.
