Arteta expressed concern over the injury, saying, āHe had to come off because he felt something. I donāt know the extent of it, but itās not good news.ā He added, āRiccardo Calafiori coming off is a bit of a worry. We will see.ā
Mikel Arteta is struggling with a growing injury list within his Arsenal squad, and Riccardo Calafiori could be the latest addition after sustaining a knee injury during the Gunnersā Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Arsenal have already been without captain Martin Odegaard for several weeks, and Bukayo Saka picked up a fitness issue during the international break with England. Both absences were felt last weekend as Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth, leaving Artetaās team four points behind league leaders Liverpool.
