Arsenal winger Noni Madueke is expected to be fit for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain after going off late in the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace, a source told ESPN.
The England international, who started and scored Arsenal’s second goal at Selhurst Park, went off near the end and appeared to be clutching his hamstring. It was a minor blemish on a day that the Gunners were coronated Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years.
However, a source told ESPN that Madueke came off only due to cramp and exhaustion, and is likely to be involved in Budapest.
The 24-year-old has featured heavily for Arsenal this season, making 42 appearances and scoring eight goals across all competitions. His performances won him a berth in Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad for the World Cup this summer.
Madueke could go into that tournament as a Champions League winner, and believes Arsenal’s Premier League title boosts their chances of success against PSG.
