Arteta expressed concern over the injury, saying, âHe had to come off because he felt something. I donât know the extent of it, but itâs not good news.â He added, âRiccardo Calafiori coming off is a bit of a worry. We will see.â
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 Gunnersâ 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 Artetaâs team four points behind league leaders Liverpool.
