Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Noni Madueke picked up an injury during Arsenal 's 1-1 draw with Manchester City .

The former Chelsea forward was the Gunners’ most potent attacking threat during an otherwise frustrating first half, only to be replaced by the Bukayo Saka at half-time.

Arteta has now confirmed that Madueke suffered an injury during the opening 45 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, and was unable to continue after the break.

The Arsenal manager said after the game: "He had an issue very early in the match and he wasn't well enough to continue."
