Arsenal will travel to England to face Port Vale in the third round of the 2025/26 League Cup. Arsenal manager Arteta stated that Maduek will be out for several weeks due to an injury he sustained in a previous match.

In the earlier Premier League match against Manchester City, Maduek was injured during the game and was replaced by Saka at the beginning of the second half.

In the end, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Manchester City in this key match.

Speaking about Maduek's condition, Arsenal manager Arteta said at a press conference, "It looks like Maduek will be out for a few weeks. We don't know yet and we may need to scan him again next week. He felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the game, but he tried to keep playing. However, the pain intensified at halftime and he was unable to continue. We can only continue to observe."

"He's frustrated and it's a shame because he was in great form and looked dangerous on the pitch. He was finding consistency in his games and understanding with the team and was a constant threat in attack, so it's a big loss for us."

In addition, Arteta also said, "Incapiye suffered a minor groin injury and we need to continue to observe in the next few days. He had surgery before and basically did not participate in the full pre-season preparations. Now the load has increased, so there is a problem, and we can only see his recovery in the next week or so."
