Thomas Tuchel has expressed concern over the injury sustained by Noni Madueke during England's match against Uruguay. The Arsenal winger was substituted before halftime after appearing to injure his knee in a challenge with Rodrigo Aguirre.
Madueke's injury has left Arsenal's management anxious, with the extent of the damage yet to be determined. The young player had been performing well in the match, displaying energy and a willingness to contribute.
Tuchel was also critical of the VAR decision not to intervene in the strong challenge inside the Uruguay penalty box. He felt that the tackle, which occurred on the edge of the box, warranted closer inspection.
Madueke's injury could potentially impact his chances of making the World Cup squad, as he faces stiff competition from players like Jarrod Bowen of West Ham.
Noni Madueke's injury is a significant blow to Arsenal's World Cup hopes, and the team will be anxiously awaiting news on his recovery. With Jarrod Bowen already vying for a spot in the squad, Madueke's absence could give Bowen a clearer path to selection. The young winger's talent and potential make his injury all the more concerning for the Gunners.
