In Arsenal’s most recent 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, defender Riccardo Calafiori suffered a knee injury that will likely keep him out for some time.
Despite early concerns about a more serious problem, Calafiori was out for many weeks due to slight damage to his medial collateral ligament (MCL), according to follow-up medical tests.
The 22-year-old will not be able to play in Arsenal’s pivotal Champions League match against Inter Milan at the San Siro on Wednesday due to his injury. He will probably miss the international break as well because he is anticipated to miss Italy’s Nations League matches against Belgium and France in mid-November.
