Reports from 'GiveMeSport' reveal that English winger Noni Madueke, an Arsenal player, is close to returning to first-team training ahead of the previously scheduled date for his recovery from injury.

The 23-year-old player has been sidelined in recent weeks due to a knee injury, but he is making significant progress in his rehabilitation program, receiving praise from the coaching staff for his discipline and commitment throughout the recovery period.

The reports indicated that Arsenal will handle Madueke's return to participation with caution to avoid any potential setbacks before his full return to competition.

It is noted that Madueke has participated in 6 matches with the London club this season since his transfer from Chelsea, without scoring or assisting any goals so far.
