Madueke was not part of Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia, which included matches against Tottenham, AC Milan, and Newcastle United. He had expressed his desire to join the team on the tour, but manager Mikel Arteta decided it was not a good idea due to the player's need for a break.

Arteta stated that Madueke needed some time off and would take a short vacation. However, the player has now returned to training and will likely feature in one of Arsenal's final preparation matches against Villa Real and Athletic Club at the Emirates Stadium.

Madueke will hope to make his debut for Arsenal in one of these matches and eventually make his Premier League debut against Manchester United on August 17. Fans will be interested to see how manager Arteta will use Madueke, as the player can play on both flanks, providing an exciting tactical insight.
