Noni Madueke

Madueke (hamstring) will likely be an option for Saturday's Champions League final agains Paris Saint-Germain following a precautionary substitution in the final Premier League clash, James McNicholas of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: 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.

Fit for starting XI

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

Analysis: 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.
